Demonstrations against the Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and claimed the lives of 204 people. Yesterday the streets of Benghazi, the second most populous city, were a mess. Government buildings were looted and the military and police firing on protesters. Habib al-Obaidi, who heads the intensive care unit at the main hospital in Tripoli Al-Jala, said yesterday 50 people were killed and hundreds were seriously injured.
"Today was a real tragedy, received 50 dead, mostly from gunshot wounds. There are 200 injured, 100 of them in serious conditions. " Meanwhile, in the city of Benghazi, a doctor reported another 20 deaths from the attacks. A witness in Benghazi said thousands of people performed ritual prayers as compared with 60 bodies lying near the northern court of Benghazi.
The witness said that hundreds of thousands of people, including women and children, came to the waterfront of the Mediterranean and the area around the port. "The protesters will be here until the regime falls." Inspired by Tunisia and Egypt, the Libyans came out on the streets on Tuesday demanding the departure of the revolutionary leader, Muammar Gadhafi, in power for 41 years.
The organization Human Rights Watch, said that since Tuesday there have been 173 deaths. Although independent medical sources say the death toll reaches 204. The death count is complicated by informative restrictions implemented by the regime, even cut off Internet service. Even the Libyan Government has not released any casualty figures.
In Benghazi, there was a rumor that members of the Libyan military units defected and fought the forces of Gadhafi. "They say that exceeded the Praetorian Guard and joined the popular uprising," said Mohamed by phone. Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gadhafi said his country runs the risk of civil war and denied that the protests have caused hundreds of deaths.
Reported that the General People's Congress will meet today to discuss an agenda "clear" of reforms and said that the government will "increase salaries." Saif said that the police and the army, given its poor training, had made mistakes in the repression of the demonstrations and that such institutions had lost a lot of equipment like tanks and artillery, at the hands of civilians.
He added that Libya was moving towards a "big mess" because a separatist movement threatens national unity. "There is an attempt by Libya to divide into smaller Islamic states, but tens of thousands of citizens were bound for Tripoli, Gadhafi to defend." United States and the European Union (EU) condemned the crackdown and called for respect for human rights.
