Tripoli:
In the speech, aired on Wednesday by local Al-Ouraba TV, Gaddafi sounds subdued and without his usual fiery rhetoric.
Addressing the people in Tripoli, Gaddafi asks: "Why are you letting them wreak havoc?"
The broadcast comes a day after hundreds of Libyan rebels stormed Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya fortress-like compound in the capital but found no sign of the longtime leader.
The pro-Gaddafi TV channel earlier quoted the Libyan leader as saying he had left the compound in a "tactical move" after 64 NATO airstrikes turned it to rubble.
