According to these sources, the police killed four demonstrators in the town of al Baidha and two in the city of Benghazi.
In the city of Al Kubba, protesters have burned a police station. The protests so far are concentrated in the cities of northeast Libya. State media had reported only on the clashes in Benghazi during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, without mentioning any deaths. In contrast, state media have given extensive coverage of the demonstrations for Gaddafi carried out on Wednesday in several cities.
Through the Facebook network, the opposition has called for demonstrations in all Libyan cities for this Thursday at the 'Day of Wrath', which coincides with the fifth anniversary of a protest against the regime. Its aim is to emulate the riots in Egypt and Tunisia that ended with the fall of dictatorial regimes in these countries.
To this end, the protesters want to occupy a square in the capital, Tripoli, aiming to stay on it until Gaddafi resign.
