The city of Benghazi in the eastern part of Libya is completely in the hands of the opposition, where bands of young volunteers have secured the borders of the city. One by one, cities throughout the country are being wrested from the government's control.
Tripoli is on lock down. Throughout the western part of the country, there are still reports of mercenaries indiscriminately killing civilians. People are afraid to leave their homes in Tripoli.
Moammar Gadhafi came on state television today, claiming that the disturbance has been caused by hallucinogenic drugs slipped into the coffee at mosques by the United States and that al-Qaeda is actively involved in the violence. His son Saif claimed that life is normal in Tripoli and that there is no disturbance. He said that the foreign media was making up the reports of unrest.
