Libya: Protesters Killed As Army Opens Fire

SKY NEWS: Dozens of people have been killed and many more injured after the army opened fire on protesters in the Libyan city of Zawiyah.

It is thought pro-Gaddafi forces entered the city and fired at protesters, who then returned fire.

A number of people were shot, including a main rebel commander who was killed.

This then set off another march of thousands of people, many of whom were unarmed, who were subsequently shot at by the military who were using rocket-propelled grenades and sniper fire.

Many of the demonstrators were shot in the head, neck and chest. (+ video) >>> Alex Crawford in Zawiyah, and Adam Arnold | Friday, March 04, 2011
