Middle East and North Africa in Turmoil
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.
