利比亚安全部队在首都的黎波里向抗议者发射催泪瓦斯。与此同时，利比亚军队与反政府武装在通往东部地区的一个关键性石油据点发生激烈的战斗。数百名反政府抗议者星期五祈祷后走上街头，效忠卡扎菲的军队向他们开枪。一些示威者高呼“卡扎菲是上帝的敌人”。据报导，支持与反对卡扎菲的部队也在利比亚东部的油港拉斯拉努夫发生冲突。
与此同时，新闻报导援引目击者的话说，效忠卡扎菲的部队与反政府示威者星期五在西部城市扎维耶发生冲突，造成伤亡。
反对派抗议者星期五还聚集在反政府武装的根据地班加西。星期五早些时候，利比亚军机连续第三天进行空袭，目标是反政府武装占领的东部城镇阿基达比亚附近的一个军事基地。占据这个基地的反政府武装说，袭击没有造成任何损失。星期四，利比亚军机向重要油港布雷加发动袭击。
Libyan security forces fired tear gas at protesters in the capital as a battle raged between the military and rebels in a key oil stronghold to the east. Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi fired the tear gas on Friday after several hundred anti-government protesters took to the streets, following Friday prayers. Some demonstrators chanted "Gadhafi is the enemy of God."
Clashes were also said to have erupted between pro and anti-Gadhafi forces in the the eastern oil port of Ras Lanuf.
Meanwhile, news reports quote witnesses who say there are casualties in the western city of Zawiya Friday, as a result of a clash between forces loyal to Mr. Gadhafi and anti-government demonstrators.
Opposition protesters also rallied on Friday in the city of Benghazi, a rebel stronghold. Earlier Friday, Libyan warplanes carried out a third day of airstrikes -- targeting a military base near the eastern rebel-held town of Ajdabiya. Rebels holding the base say there was no damage from the strikes. On Thursday, Libyan warplanes launched strikes against the rebel-held city of Brega, a key oil port.
