More than 80 Killed in Libya

According to some reports, at least 80 people have been killed in protests in Libya. This comes to us via opposition groups as it is increasingly difficult to get accurate information out of the socialist dictatorship.

Protesters Knocking Down Kadhafy's Green Book

This also comes after yesterday, when reports surfaced that a city was captured by demonstrators.
One former opposition leader does not see the same fate for Kadhafy as other leaders:

“I don’t think Libya is comparable to Egypt or Tunisia. Gadhafi would fight to the very last moment,” he said by telephone from the Libyan capital.

But the severity of the protests in eastern Libya seem to say otherwise:

Ashour Shamis, a London-based Libyan journalist, said protesters had stormed Benghazi’s Kuwafiyah prison and freed dozens of political prisoners. Quryna said 1,000 prisoners had escaped and 150 had been recaptured.

So at this point the situation is very fluid– and can go any way.
