BBC online top story.

At least four people have been killed in the Libyan city of Benghazi after military police and protesters took over militia bases.

The violence followed a day of protests by tens of thousands of citizens demanding an end to the armed groups.

The bases include the HQ of the Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia, suspected of involvement in an attack on the US consulate in the city.

The attack was triggered by an amateur video made in the US which mocks Islam.

Protests against the film have been held across the Muslim world. At least 19 people died in Pakistan on Friday alone in clashes with police trying to stop protesters attacking US diplomatic buildings.

US citizens have been urged not to travel to Pakistan and the US embassy has paid for adverts on Pakistani TV showing President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemning the film.
Government-backed group

Witnesses say supporters of Ansar al-Sharia lined up outside its Benghazi headquarters, in front of the crowd, waving black and white banners.

They fired into the air to try to disperse the protesters, but fled with their weapons after the base was surrounded by waves of people shouting "no to militias".

Excellent.....I hope we see more of these kinds of demonstrations and outrage by people who are fed up and are taking a stand against armed terrorists and sensless blood shed in their countries.....

There has been a wave of hostility towards the militias since US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others Americans died in last week's attack on the Benghazi consulate.

Come now, these are the same "militia" that have fought and bled in the de-throning of Qaddafi. Now you expect them to just leave? They haven't got their good share of the loot just yet!

Always remember who you use as allies. They often have their own interests to consider.

A lesson the U.S. never seems to be able to learn despite all of their firsthand experience with it.
