Residents fear that the troops are preparing pro-Gaddafi for an attack to regain control of Nalut town located 60 kilometers from the Tunisian border in the west of Libya from the protesters, who seek to end the rule of Gaddafi.
The United States discussed and other foreign governments on Monday, military options for dealing with Libya, while Gaddafi derided the threat posed by the popular uprising against his government.
The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice said on Monday that the United States is holding talks with its partners in NATO and others on military options for dealing with Libya.
The United States also said it has frozen assets worth about $ 30 billion in the United States to prevent the Gaddafi and his family of its disposition.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said his government would work to declare the "no-fly" over to Libya to protect the people from attacks by al-Qadhafi.
Gaddafi rejects calls to step down and played down the strength of the uprising that sought to topple the rule that 41 years have passed, which ended its control over eastern Libya and close to the capital Tripoli.
Gaddafi said in an interview with television network (AT. Me. C) U.S. and British Broadcasting Corporation (B. Me. C) on Monday, "all my people love me. They are ready to die in defense of me."
Gaddafi denied the use of air weapons to attack the protesters, but said the planes bombed military positions and ammunition depots. He also denied the existence of protests and said the youths had received drugs from the rule, therefore, took to the streets. He added that the Libyan troops had orders not to shoot them.
