Libyan protesters defy crackdown
Libyan protesters have defied a fierce crackdown by Muammar Gaddafi's regime, returning today to a square in the city of Benghazi to demand his overthrow.
Protesters on Monday overran several Libyan cities while regime stalwarts began defecting as the pillars of Muammar Gaddafi hardline rule were targeted in Tripoli amid reports he had fled the country.
