In 48 hours everything will be over, Gaddafi’s son says

Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi are near the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and "everything will be over in 48 hours," Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam told France-based TV channel Euronews on Wednesday, March 16.

Asked about discussions among world powers to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, he replied: "The military operations are finished. In 48 hours everything will be over. Our forces are close to Benghazi. Whatever decision is taken, it will be too late."
