In a defiant speech on state television, Libyan strongman Moammar Gaddafi rejected demands that he relinquish power. "I will not leave the country and I will die as a martyr," he said.

The Libyan leader, whose government has been weakened in recent days even as it has brutally cracked down on mass protests, also said "damn those who try to stir unrest."
