Up to 50 Protesters Killed in Libya 
------------------------------------



Funerals are also being held in Libya today for the victims of a
government crackdown on protests in several towns. At least five deaths
have been confirmed, but there are reports the toll could be as high as
50. The largest rally was held in the city of Benghazi, where thousands
took to the streets to denounce Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's 41-year rule.
