(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Dozens of Moamer Gaddafi's High Ranking Officers joined protesters who gathered for a rally in Tripoli's streets.

The capital got off to a quiet start with people queuing up in front of bakeries and cars lined up at petrol stations as usual, witnesses said.

A large banner declaring, "The people's power or death," was erected as dozens of cars arrived at the square honking their horns, waving green flags and portraits of the 'Guide of the Revolution.'

In a defiant speech on Tuesday night, Gaddafi had called on the police and army to crush the uprising which according to official Libyan figures has killed 1300 people.
