Libyan state television reports that organized “subversive” groups are behind the unrest and is urging people to cooperate with security forces and the police.

Reports from Libya suggest that over 200 people have been killed by government forces since protests against Gaddafi began last week. Unrest started in the west of the country, but has now spread to the capital.
