Battles rage in Libya, Aljazeera (2011)
This news article says that Government opponents in the Libyan city of Az Zawiyah have repulsed an attempt by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi to retake the city close to the capital, Tripoli, in six hours of fighting overnight, witnesses say. Anti-government protests started in the country's second-largest city of Benghazi, and have since spread to the west of the country. Gaddafi, in power since 1969, remains defiant and has scoffed at calls to step down, saying foreign powers, including al-Qaeda and drug addicts, were behind the unrest.
