ibyan forces fired machine-guns at mourners marching in a funeral for anti-government protesters in the eastern city of Benghazi yesterday, a day after snipers and foreign mercenaries loyal to longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi shot demonstrators.
Women and children leapt from bridges to their deaths as they tried to escape the ruthless crackdown on Saturday. Artillery and helicopter gunships were also used against crowds of demonstrators, and thugs armed with hammers and swords had attacked families in their homes.
A doctor at one city hospital said he counted 200 dead in his morgue alone since the unrest began six days ago.
Apparently snipers are shooting down protesters in the street during the speech by Saif el-Islam Gaddafi. Egypt's revolution was luckily extremely peaceful in comparison to this. Saif el-Islam Gaddafi basically said in his speech that everyone in Libya would be dead before his father would give up control of the nation.

Is this an issue? No doubt intelligence did realise their government was bullshit.
