State TV showed demonstrations in several cities said to be in support of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The unrest comes a day before planned anti-government demonstrations on Thursday, dubbed a "Day of Anger", which are being organised via internet social networks.

Watching closely and orchestrating as best they can to be sure their stooges fill any vacancies that arise. The final capture of the UN was engineered under Bolton. She's copper-fastened, as the shipwrights say. There was a time when previous irish governments would have noticed that and resisted. Ta an la sin thart.
