Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1258002 Canada 02/18/2011 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BBC radio, quoting an eyewitness, said doctors had counted the bodies of 10 people after the clashes in Benghazi, which is about 1,000 km east of the Libyan capital. Another resident in Benghazi, who said he had been in contact with people in the nearby town of al Bayda, told Reuters: "The confrontation between protesters and Gadhafi supporters is still going on, some of the police have become angry. There are a lot of people killed." Local sources had earlier told Reuters that at least five people were killed in al Bayda. The resident also said that Saadi Gadhafi, a businessman son of the Libyan leader, had been on local radio and said he was coming to Benghazi to take over as mayor of the city and protect the people there. Saadi Gadhafi holds senior military rank and was briefly employed as a player by Italian professional football clubs. Funerals of those killed were expected in both Benghazi and Al Bayda on Friday. Such funerals could act as a catalyst for further protests. [link to www.haaretz.com] |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1258002 Canada 02/18/2011 07:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Troops took to the streets of Benghazi on Friday, Reuters reported but in Tripoli, the capital, Colonel Qaddafi himself made a brief appearance at the central Green Square, surrounded by supporters. He did not, however, address them. Green is the color Colonel Qaddafi has adopted for what he calls his revolution, initiating a system under which he is ostensibly an ordinary citizen but in reality wields absolute power, buttressed by a powerful personality cult, tight controls on the media and a pervasive security apparatus. Exiled opponents of the Libyan leader said on Thursday that protests mirroring the turmoil in the Arab world had broken out in several parts of the country on a so-called “Day of Rage.”. But the ferocity of the government’s response emerged only on Friday when the advocacy group Human Rights Watch said security forces “killed at least 24 protesters and wounded many others in a crackdown on peaceful demonstrations across the country.” [link to www.nytimes.com] |
