DUBAI Feb 24 (Reuters) - Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi will "shortly" address residents of the town of Az-Zawiyah, 50 km (30 miles) west of the capital Tripoli, Al-Arabiya television reported on Thursday.

World oil prices LCOc1 have surged towards $120 a barrel as unrest grips Libya, and Al Jazeera television reported on Thursday the violence had reached Az-Zawiyah. (Reporting by Martina Fuchs; Editing by Dominic Evans)

Expect the Libyan muscle flexing revolution to soon be recognized as a news media sham. Lots of huffing and puffing and nothing else. There are more highway deaths on a single day in the US than the 300 reported by the sham Libyan revolution. The corrupt opposition just wants a part of the oil profits and they will get it. Gadhafi will then go into exile but his corrupt pals will remain in power.
