Libya protests: Second city Benghazi hit by violence
Hundreds of anti-government protesters have clashed with police and government supporters in Libya's second city, in the latest display of unrest in the Arab world. Dozens of people are said to have been hurt in the clashes in Benghazi.
The overnight unrest followed the arrest of an outspoken government critic, who was reportedly freed later.
State TV showed demonstrations in several cities said to be in support of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The unrest comes a day before planned anti-government demonstrations on Thursday, dubbed a "Day of Anger", which are being organised via internet social networks.

Demonstration in solidarity with the Libyan people 17th Feb
It's not only the BBC reporting the uprising and the response of the Libyan regime, which has been to use live ammunition against demonstrators and interupt internet and media access .
Agence France Press reported Friday that Facebook was inaccessible from Tripoli, Libya's capital, and that "access to the Internet was intermittent." The Libyan government has blocked Al Jazeera TV signal in the country and people have also reported that the network's website is inaccessible from there.
An eye- witness interviewed in this report from Al Jazeera says that he has just seen troops shoot dead five demonstartors

"Where is the United Nations ... where is (US president Barack) Obama, where is the rest of the world, people are dying on the streets," Mohamed el-Berqawy, an engineer in Benghazi
The BBC reports an eyewitness in Libya’s second biggest city Benghazi saying that troops in the city have joined protesters who have been fighting the elite squads sent in by Gadaffi “street by street”. A doctor in Benghazi told Al Jazeera that he had seen 70 bodies at the city's hospital on Friday .
is stating that the protesters are being fired on by helicopters.
Where is the UN...or Obama?
Watching closely and orchestrating as best they can to be sure their stooges fill any vacancies that arise. The final capture of the UN was engineered under Bolton. She's copper-fastened, as the shipwrights say. There was a time when previous irish governments would have noticed that and resisted. Ta an la sin thart.
