An anchor giving the news this weekend on Libyan state television lifted a gun on air and warned rebels trying to oust Moammar Gadhafi that staffers at al-Libiyah would become martyrs if they had to. Â
Hala Misrati grabbed a handgun from the top of the anchor desk as news reports said that rebels were advancing toward the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
Al Jazeera English gave this translation: "With this weapon, I either kill or die today.
"You will not take al-Libiyah channel. You won't take Jamahiriyah channel, Shababiyah channel, Tripoli or all of Libya, and even those without a weapon are willing to be a shield in order to protect their colleagues at this channel. We are willing to become martyrs."
According to several reports, Misrati has been controversially outspoken about her support of Gadhafi. She previously reportedly referred to al Jazeera as "Swine Jazeera" and accused the news agency of killing its own employees and bombing its own offices.
The way she is holding that gun she won't cause much harm.

Really good move, anchor person. Now they know where to find you. Be afraid, be VERY afraid.

the weather here is nice, expect a 10% chance of rain. and a 100% chance of lead pisoning if you try and take over my news studio.
i bet you she is dynomite in bed...
I see that these damn, mindless Tea Partying trolls already took over this web page so that any of the rest of us who have something to say will be drowned out as usual. I wish that they'd take their stupidity elsewhere!
@ tom p-ussey ... go drink some tea..
Sorry Tom, I see that this dirty-minded Tea Partier finally got around to missusing your name above. As you can plainly see he already hijacked my name in the post above yours but the idiot who's moderating this web page blocked my earlier post protesting it. He'll probably block this message too!
The comment posted above by RUFFNTT(3:04) is filthy and very uncalled for. It needs to be deleted from this web page but I guess that CNN won't do that! Why do they allow such crap here in the first place???
I agree with both you Bud TreeJr. and the true RUFFNUTT above. The troll RUFFNUTT(3:04) not only needs to have his comment above removed from this website but also needs to be blocked from posting any new comments here! I wonder if this isn't the same person who's been trolling a lot of different people here at the same time. It's a distinct possibility!!
Tom it sure must be difficult to be so politically correct. You haven't even had time to repeat the morning DNC talking points to prove how really smart u is.
To quote Roseanne Roseannadanna,
"It's ALWAYS sumptin!"
*Facepalm*â„¢
Hey! The Right-Wing Thus Troll stole another name!
@Ruffie: LITERALLY, dynamite!
I'd *like* to drown the troll...
Tea won't do it, give him Mouth wash !
I like RUFFNUTT's 2:51 comment.
He has a profound understanding of the meaning of life.
duh... everyone knows crazy women are the best that way...
i bet you she likes to be on-top and fires then gun off while doing it...
.
she might even do it jihad style.. that's where when your almost there she stops and smacks you in the face...and starts all over again..
