RABAT (Reuters) – Libyan state television Monday showed live footage of leader Muammar Gaddafi saluting supporters from a jeep that drove outside his fortified compound of Bab al-Aziziyah in Tripoli.
A written newsflash read: "The brother leader among his supporters."
Gaddafi briefly waved to his backers through the roof of his vehicle as bodyguards tried to prevent his supporters from mobbing him.
His appearance came as one of his envoys shuttled around southern Europe in an effort to convince the international community a negotiated end to the fighting was possible.
