LIBYA BLOCKS FACEBOOK; INTERNET CONNECTIVITY SPOTTY
Access to social networking site Facebook was cut in the Libyan capital on Friday and access to the Internet was intermittent amid deadly anti-regime protests, computer users reported.
From early evening it was impossible to access the popular Facebook site, and connections to other sites were either very slow or not possible, they said.
The state of Internet connections in the rest of the country was not known.
The regime of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi vowed on Friday to snuff out attempts to challenge the Libyan leader, after an opposition "day of anger" became a bloodbath.
According to reports compiled by AFP from different local sources, at least 41 people have lost their lives since demonstrations first erupted on Tuesday. [Yahoo News]
