His defiant comments to your Syrian TV station came because the forces of Libya's new government tightened a siege on the tribal bastion of Bani Walid, where some suspect the ousted strongman as well as of his sons might be sheltering. In exchanges of fire, Gaddafi loyalists inside the town launched Grad rockets.
In what Syrian broadcaster Arrai said was obviously a call from Libya, the 69-year-old Gaddafi, who was toppled by rebels a couple weeks ago after 42 years in power, rallied supporters and said surrender was unthinkable.
"Our resolute Libyan people, the Libyan land is the own. People that try and get it from you finding out now, they may be intruders, they are mercenaries, these are stray dogs. These are wanting to seize our ancestral land from you finding out but this can be impossible.
"We is not going to leave our ancestral land," Gaddafi said.
"The youths are now prepared to escalate the resistant against the rats in Tripoli also to end the mercenaries."
A Libyan military convoy which French and local military sources said entered neighbouring Niger over the desert soon has stirred speculation which he could be going to flee.
But, in remarks which clearly indicated he was speaking after those reports were published, Gaddafi said: "This isn't the first-time that convoys drive inside and outside of Niger."
Gaddafi is not observed in public since June and his awesome whereabouts are actually a selected mystery since rebel fighters overran his Tripoli headquarters a fortnight ago, only to find the main leadership had disappeared. Bani Walid, one of the few towns still to Gaddafi's followers, has refused to surrender despite a stand-off lasting over a week.
Officials through the interim ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) sent reinforcements after reports that Gaddafi had issued a require the location to fight. The effectiveness of resistance from around 100 to 200 loyalists has made some NTC commanders think Gaddafi himself could be in your neighborhood.

The NTC in addition has dispatched envoys to neighbouring Niger to try and stop Gaddafi and his awesome entourage evading justice by fleeing across a largely unguarded desert frontier.
The Pentagon said it had no information to indicate the fallen leader had left his North African homeland. Niger, which took in their security chief this week, insisted Gaddafi hadn't crossed its border.
The us said hello had also contacted the governments of Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Chad and Burkina Faso - a swathe of poor former French colonies that taken advantage of Gaddafi's oil-fuelled largesse in Africa. Hawaii Department urged them to secure their borders and to detain and disarm Gaddafi officials.
Gaddafi and his son and heir-apparent Saif al-Islam are wanted for crimes against humanity through the International Criminal Court, but Libyans say they wish to put the them on trial first.
