Credit: Reuters/Hamad I Mohammed By Cynthia Johnston TRIPOLI/MANAMA | Sun Feb 20, 2011 1:21am EST TRIPOLI/MANAMA (Reuters) - Libyan security forces shot dead dozens of protesters to try to crush a revolt in the second city Benghazi, and the wave of unrest sweeping the Middle East also pushed Bahrain's rulers into talks with the opposition. Anti-government demonstrators in Bahrain camped out overnight in Pearl Square in Manama after putting riot police to flight in a striking victory, confidently setting up camp for a protracted stay. In Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, a witness told Reuters snipers had fired at protesters from a fortified compound. "Dozens were killed... We are in the midst of a massacre here," said the resident, who did not want to be named. The man said he helped take the victims to a local hospital during Saturday's violence. The Libyan authorities have not allowed foreign journalists into the country since the protests against Gaddafi erupted, and the witness' account could not be independently verified. Human Rights Watch says 84 people have been killed in Libya since the protests began, reflecting the ferocity of the security crackdown mounted in response to anti-government protests that sought to emulate uprisings in neighboring Egypt and Tunisia. Britain's Independent on Sunday newspapers said the death toll in Benghazi -- 1,000 km (625 miles) east of the capital -- may be as high as 200. Unverified posts on social network sites referred to minor skirmishes in the capital and of overnight gunfire in Nalut, to the west of Tripoli. Unrest has also been seen in Yemen, Oman, Kuwait and Djibouti as people took to the streets demanding political and economic change. Anti-government protests met varying degrees of force in Yemen, Algiers and Djibouti, while an Egyptian court approved a new party in a landmark ruling. Authorities in Saudi Arabia detained activists trying to set up the kingdom's first political party. SNIPER FIRE Twitter was abuzz with talk of unrest in Libyan towns other than Benghazi. Reports ranged from the use of mercenaries and aircraft to mortars and artillery against protesters, but with foreign media banned from entering the country, they were impossible to verify. Internet service has been cut off in Libya, but local Muslim leaders called on soldiers to stop killing fellow Muslims: "Do NOT kill your brothers and sisters. STOP the massacre NOW!," urged the appeal, sent to Reuters. Italy's Ansa news agency quoted an Italian witness in Benghazi as saying the city was "completely out of control." "All the government and institutional buildings and a bank have been burned, and the rebels have ransacked and destroyed everything. There's no one on the streets, not even the police," said the witness, who declined to be identified. 1 2 Next World Bahrain Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
