German Chancellor Angela Merkel described a televised address Tuesday by Libya's Moamer Kadhafi as "very scary" and said Berlin would consider sanctions unless he halted a crackdown on protestors.
"We are calling on the Libyan authorities to stop the violence against their own people," Merkel told reporters at a joint press conference with Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou.
"If the violence does not stop ... we will consider sanctions," she added.
During his speech on Libyan television, Kadhafi vowed to hunt opponents of his regime, purging them "house by house" and "inch by inch".
Merkel said that the reports being received of the situation on the ground in Libya were "extremely worrying".
"Moamer Kadhafi's speech today was very scary as he has declared war on his own people," Merkel added.
