Gadhafi's daughter says father is well

Muaamar Gadhafi's firebrand daughter has said in an audio recording that her father is in high spirits and fighting alongside his supporters against the revolutionary forces who swept his regime from power. 

In her first public remarks since the fall of Tripoli a month ago, Aisha Gadhafi accused the country's new leaders of being traitors, noting that some of them were members of Gadhafi's regime before defecting in the civil war.  

"Those who have betrayed the pledge they offered [to Gadhafi], how come they won't betray you?" she said in a warning to Libyans.     

The prerecorded four-minute message was broadcast Friday on the Syrian-based Al-Rai TV, which has become Gadhafi's main mouthpiece.

The elder Gadhafi, his chief spokesman and his son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, have also released statements through the channel since the takeover of Tripoli.    

"I assure you, he is fine, a believer in God, in good spirits, is carrying his gun and is fighting side by side with the warriors," she said.   Aisha Gadhafi is a lawyer in her mid-30s who helped in the defense of Iraq's Saddam Hussein in the trial that led to his hanging.
