Pro-Gaddafi tribes tell rebels to return to fold

TRIPOLI - Libyan tribes loyal to Muammar Gaddafi called on rebels on Saturday to "return to the fold" and stand united with their leader against NATO air strikes they likened to Italy's colonial rule.
The call came in a meeting of leaders representing some 420 tribes to which Gaddafi's government brought the foreign media it has permitted in Tripoli. Those journalists operate under close supervision from government minders.
