Witnesses describe violence, chaos in Libyan cities

(CNN) -- While state TV bounced between scenes of serene concert footage and
orderly rallies in support of leader Moammar Gadhafi, eyewitnesses describe
a far different, far more chaotic Libya -- one with arms-toting mercenaries
, demonstrators ramming stolen tanks into a military base and masked men
firing guns and blasting pro-government tunes from their sport utility
vehicles.
Sporadic gunfire continued to ring out early Monday in parts of the North
African nation, albeit a far cry from the tumult seen at other times since
demonstrations and clashes began Tuesday night in Benghazi.
Obtaining independent confirmation on events in Libya is very difficult. The
Libyan government maintains tight control on communications and has not
responded to repeated requests from CNN for access to the country. CNN has,
however, interviewed numerous witnesses by phone.
Several people noted that major unrest came to Gadhafi's doorstep in the
capital Tripoli for the first time on Sunday, where crowds of anti-
government protesters loudly decried Libya's current government, set fires
to cars and braved gunfire by uniformed and self-styled security forces.
Gunfire rang out in the capital's streets, some of it coming from the barrel
of masked men driving through the streets, said one witness -- who, like
many others, isn't identified for safety reasons.
Demonstrations, clashes and damage were especially evident around Green
Square and the presidential palace, individuals on the ground told CNN.
According to one person, the heavy guard detail normally positioned outside
Gadhafi's residence disappeared Sunday night.
Protesters who set fire to cars in the middle of the street soon thereafter
bolted after hearing gunfire, a Libyan man said.
"Someone came and said that Gadhafi's people are in the next street," he
said. "We could hear the gunshots were very close."
By early Monday, Tripoli's streets had calmed down, though frequent gunshots
could still be heard.
"Now we hear gun shots mostly -- a lot of them," said one man, adding that
he also heard people protesting in the distance.
A relative calm had also descended by then in Benghazi, Libya's second
largest city and a hotbed of anti-Gadhafi sentiment. But it was a far cry
from the violence there on Sunday.
The central government lost control of Benghazi, with multiple witnesses
reporting that protesters took over Libya's second-largest city with support
from some military who dropped their allegiance to Gadhafi.
However, his son Saif Gadhafi -- in a speech on state television early
Monday -- continued to insist the military remained loyal to the ruling
government and would be taking an increasingly active role in suppressing
unrest in the coming days.
The reported power shift followed fresh clashes that left 25 dead earlier in
the day, a doctor at Benghazi's Al Jalla Hospital said.
A source at Benghazi Medical Center, the city's other major hospital, said
there were 10 people dead there Sunday.
One man told CNN that uniformed troops opened fire on thousands of mourners
as they passed through the streets during a funeral procession honoring
those killed the previous day.
Protesters later Sunday packed at least one car with explosives and sent it
crashing into a compound wall at a military camp in the eastern city,
eyewitnesses said. Security forces then fired on the protesters as they
attempted to breach the camp.
On the camp's southern side, meanwhile, protesters drove a tank from a
nearby army base in another attempt to break in, witnesses said. They have
also obtained other weapons, the protester said.
Libyan state television reported the camp has been defended, and that
protesters were being warned on loudspeakers not to attack the compound. The
network called it an act of sabotage.
The protester said that the military camp is significant because it houses
Gadhafi's eastern palace.
"It's a symbol of his dominance here," he said. "And it's the last symbol,
basically."
A protester said some fellow anti-government demonstrators had other weapons
. Saif Gadhafi accused criminal elements of stealing arms and firing them in
an attempt to cast blame on military and security forces.
Medical sources and other sources have said that at least 219 had died
nationwide in the violence.
But Saif Gadhafi said that international media had overstated the death toll
. He also claimed foreign nationals and "illegal immigrants" had stirred the
uprising, with some dissenters attacking government installations as well
as stealing caches of weapons. | g*********r

Libyan citizens in Tripoli need weapons to fight the foreign mercenaries of
Gaddafi.
These African mercenaries are slaughtering people in street--shoot to kill
any person who moves.
aljazeera dot net reported this just now.
Where are the governments of the world now? Shame, shame, shame on you for
supporting genocide in 2011
The BBC has just reported that 2 Libyan Air Force pilots have defected and
flown to malata rather than carry out their orders and open fire with a
fully armed jet on unarmed protestors, The beginning of the end I think for
that regime. Yeah OBama you silence is noted in Europe also, its common
knowledge that the US administrations actually support and fund most of
these dictators being overthrown. Is Amercia due a coup????? | h*h
