Libyan Dictator Muammar Gadhafi is still alive.

In a surprise speech, caught live just now by Al Jazeera, the 42-year leader of Libya appeared on a rooftop and vowed once more to become a martyr. He blamed foreigners and reactionaries for his imminent ouster.

Meanwhile, anti-Gadhafi forces have apparently taken a key airfield near Tripoli.
