Heftige demonstrationer mod Gadhafis styre i Libyen har kostet op mod 16 livet på “Vredens dag”. I Yemen er én er dræbt og adskillige såret, skriver CNN torsdag aften.

Messages and videos posted on social media sites Thursday signaled that anti-government protests in Libya were gathering steam in several cities, with some turning violent on a “Day of Rage.”

There were reports of 16 deaths, but they could not be independently confirmed.

A text message sent out earlier on mobile phones had threatened Libyans planning to take to the streets, activists and bloggers said.

In Yemen, one person was killed and more that two dozen were hurt in a fresh round of anti-government protests, eyewitnesses and an opposition lawmaker reported.

It was the second fatality reported in the past two days in Aden, where authorities cut off power to the Al-Mansoora district and fired into the air to break up the crowd of about 3.000.
