> Cairo: A five-day-old uprising in Libya took control of its second-largest
> city of Benghazi and spread for the first time to the capital of Tripoli
> late on Sunday as the heir-apparent son of its strongman, Col. Muammar
> el-Gaddafi, warned Libyans in a televised speech that their oil-rich country
> would fall into civil war and even renewed Western "colonization" if they
> threw off his father's 40-year-long rule.
>
> In a rambling, disjointed address delivered at about 1 a.m. on Monday, the
> son, Seif al-Islam el-Gaddafi, played down the uprising sweeping the
> country, which witnesses and rights activists say has left more than 200
> people dead and hundreds wounded from gunfire by security forces. He
> repeated several times that "Libya is not Tunisia or Egypt" -- the neighbors
> to the east and west that both overthrew their veteran autocrats in the
> space of the last six weeks.
>
> The revolt shaking Libya is the latest and most violent turn in the
> rebellion across the Arab world that seemed unthinkable just two months ago
> and now poses the greatest threat in four decades to Colonel Gaddafi's
> autocratic power. The United States condemned the Gaddafi government's
> lethal use of force.
>
> The younger Mr. Gaddafi sought to minimize the extent of the uprising and
> blamed it on Islamic radicals and Libyans in exile. He offered a vague
> package of reforms, potentially including a new flag, a new national anthem
> and a new confederate structure. But his main theme was to threaten Libyans
> with the prospect of civil war over its oil resources that would break up
> the country, deprive residents of food and education, and even invite a
> Western takeover.
