Predictions

Background

Libyan protesters claim to have taken control of Benghazi, the country's second city, only hours after the son of ruler Muammar Gaddafi warned he would fight them "to the last bullet". In his televised address, Seif al-Islam Gaddafi warned of civil war if protests continue, a theme continued on Libyan state TV on Monday with a pro-regime commentator speaking of chaos and "rivers of blood" turning Libya into "another Somalia" if security is not restored.

Snipers opened fire on crowds trying to seize the square, and Gaddafi supporters speeding through in vehicles shot and ran over protesters, but they failed to stop the demonstrators taking over the offices of two of the multiple state-run satellite news channels. The protests and violence were the heaviest yet in the capital of two million people, a sign of how unrest is spreading after six days of demonstrations in eastern cities demanding the end of the elder Gaddafi's rule.

Gaddafi has unleashed the bloodiest crackdown of any Arab country against the wave of protests sweeping the region, which toppled the leaders of Egypt and Tunisia. More than 200 have been killed in Libya, according to medical officials, human rights groups and exiled dissidents.
