Massacres Reported.. Dozens Killed.. Mourners Attacked in Libya
CAIRO — Witnesses say Libyan protesters and security forces battled for control of Tripoli’s city center overnight, with snipers opening fire and Moammar Gadhafi supporters shooting from speeding vehicles.
The protests appear to be the heaviest in Libya’s capital after days of deadly clashes in eastern cities.
Three witnesses say protesters Sunday night moved into Tripoli’s central Green Square and nearby squares. Plainclothes security forces and militiamen attacked in clashes that lasted until dawn.
One witness says snipers opened fire from rooftops. Two others say gunmen in vehicles with photos of Gadhafi sped through, opening fire and running people over. The witnesses reported seeing casualties, but the number could not be confirmed. AP
