Protesters captured Libya state TV HQ

Libyan protesters have raided and torched offices of the country's state TV in the capital Tripoli, as major crackdowns have been carried out in the Arab country.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - In Benghazi, Libya, thousands of people have taken to the streets since last week, calling for the ouster of the 68-year-old Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, who has been in office since September 1969.

The Libyan regime has brutally cracked down on protesters, and has opened fire with machine guns, as well as sniper fire, killing at least 233 people since Thursday according to the Human Rights Watch.
