Moammar Gadhafi appeared late this evening on local Libyan TV in a taped message aimed at ending speculation over whether he too was killed in the NATO airstrike that claimed his youngest son.

Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has not been seen since last month when his youngest son was killed in a NATO airstrike, prompting questions about whether he is dead or just hiding.
Asked today whether the United States has any intelligence on the despot's location, White House spokesman Jay Carney shed no new light on Gadhafi's whereabouts.
"Well, I wouldn't want to comment on what intelligence we may or may not have. We, obviously, are participants in the NATO mission, as I mentioned earlier, and continue the efforts that we've undertaken to put pressure on Gadhafi and his regime, because he needs to leave power," Carney said.
NATO spokesman and Italian Brig. Gen. Claudio Gabellini said the alliance does not know either if Gadhafi is dead or alive.
