The Contagion – Update

Fresh violence in Libyan city (New Zealand Radio). Authorities have sent in an elite army unit to re-establish control in the Libyan city of Benghazi following renewed anti-government protests, according to reports. Human rights campaigners say 84 people have been killed in disturbances in Libya over the past few days.

Gaddafi’s goons open fire on mourners at protesters’ funeral, kill 15 - National Libertarian | Examiner.com In one of the vilest and most depraved acts since the popular protests erupted in the Arab world three week ago, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi today ordered henchmen to open fire on mourners at the funeral of slain protesters in the eastern city of Benghazi. When the massacre was over, 15 people lay dead and dozens more were wounded. Sic semper tyrannis.

Well, well. To be straight, this report isn’t confirmed yet and if we have no reason to question the Examiner professional work and ethic, this order of murdering disarmed Libyan’s citizens by an identified officer or public ruler should, once thoroughly checked, be a subject of great attention for the ICC. Count on that.
