1613: The Tripoli resident continues: “The militia and Gaddafi supporters [are] carrying heavy arms [and] don’t want the people to gather. They were just coming out in a crowd. They caused a massacre... There are some people still lying on the street. Nobody can take them. They are using ambulances to shoot at people - can you believe it? They are using anti-aircraft weapons. They are shooting continuously. You think you are in a war zone. This is a civil area. People are not armed.”
1610: More on those reports of people being shot at by Gaddafi supporters after Friday prayers. One person told the BBC: “As we were praying, the shooting started. As people came out [of the mosque], they were shooting at people. A lot of my neighbours today died. My brother was hit by a bullet in his leg. The situation here is horrible. There are helicopters. The sky is raining with bullets.”
