Libya state TV, gov’t offices attacked — witnesses

CAIRO — Protesters in the Libyan capital Tripoli sacked state broadcast offices and set branches of the People's Committees that are the mainstay of the regime ablaze overnight, witnesses told AFP on Monday.

"The headquarters of Al-Jamahiriya Two television and Al-Shababia radio have been sacked," one witness told AFP by telephone on condition of anonymity.

Broadcasts on both channels were interrupted on Sunday evening but resumed on Monday morning.

A number of witnesses said protesters had torched public buildings in the capital overnight, not only People's Committee offices but also police stations. (report from Agence France-Presse)
