“Day of Anger” Protests Hit Libya; Gadhafi May be Ready for Crackdown – Video Report 2/17/11
from Freedom's Lighthouse by Brian
Unrest continues to spread across the Middle East.
Here is a video report on protests breaking out across Libya in what is being called there a “Day of Anger.” The report says that signs indicate the Government of Gen. Moammar Gadhafi may be planning to crack down on protests.
CNN: Messages and videos posted on social media sites Thursday signaled that anti-government protests in Libya were gathering steam in several cities, with some turning violent on a “Day of Rage.”
There were reports of at least 10 deaths, but those reports could not be independently confirmed.
A text message sent out on mobile phones challenged younger Libyans to take to the streets, activists and bloggers said.
“From Libya’s youth to anyone who dares to cross any of the four red lines come and face us in any street on the ground of our beloved country,” the SMS said, referring to a speech by Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, Moammar Gadhafi’s son, in which he described the lines as Islamic law, the Quran, Libyan security and his father.
CNN does not have journalists in Libya and was unable to confirm the extent of the demonstrations unfolding there. . . .
