The demonstrations soon petered out as Muammar al-Qaddafi's forces sprayed the crowd with tear gas and what witnesses say was live ammunition.<strong> </strong>In recent days, militia and mercenaries loyal to Qaddafi have patrolled the streets in civilian cars and detained and killed people at will.Duane Seiglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14710933304569507312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268630135216085659.post-34583593108287366692011-03-02T17:07:00.000-08:002011-03-04T14:09:24.960-08:00Gaddafi Launch Land And Air AttacksU.S. crude oil futures hit the highest settlement in nearly 2-1/2 years on Wednesday as<br />
