Massive protests are taking place throughout the Mideast and North Africa, triggered by events in Tunisia and Egypt. In Bahrain, the Sunni regime launched a swift and violent crackdown on demonstrators in the capital, killing at least three people.
In Libya’s capital, there were pro-Gaddafi demonstrators but no sign of unrest, although violent crackdowns on protesters were reported in other cities.
