A newsreader on Libyan state TV has said she and her colleagues are prepared to "become martyrs" as rebels advance towards Tripoli.
She waved a gun and vowed: "With this weapon, I either kill or die today, you will not take al-Libiyah channel. You won't take Jamahiriyah channel, Shababiyah channel, Tripoli or all of Libya, and even those without a weapon are willing to be a shield in order to protect their colleagues at this channel. We are willing to become martyrs", according to an Al-Jazeera translation.
