Gadhafi says his regime still alive in Libya

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) -- Moammer Gadhafi says his regime is still alive in Libya and is calling his opponents' takeover of all but a few pockets of the country a charade.

Gadhafi got the message out on a Syrian-based satellite station that has become his main mouthpiece. Al-Rai TV released written excerpts of his remarks on Tuesday.

The deposed leader says what is happening is a "charade" imposed on Libyans through NATO airstrikes that will not last forever. There was no accompanying audio of his voice, but he has used the channel numerous times to put out messages urging his supporters to fight on.

His whereabouts remains unknown.
