TUNIS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - A resident of the Libyan capital told Reuters on Sunday he could hear gunshots in the streets and crowds of people.
'We're inside the house and the lights are out. There are gunshots in the street,' the resident said by telephone. 'That's what I hear, gunshots and people. I can't go outside.'
An expatriate worker living in the Libyan capital told Reuters: 'Some anti-government demonstrators are gathering in the residential complexes. The police are dispersing them. I can also see burning cars.'
