Regarding Libya, I hear numbers could be as high as 300 to 500, while "official" numbers are just above 80.

Yet after this unrest, it would seem the regime in Libya could be poised to fall next, despite the incoming mercenary forces. It's still early, and it hasn't been confirmed, but the Libyan ambassador to China has resigned on the air, and stated that the brothers Gaddafi had it out with gunfire and Gaddafi himself may have fled the country.

Regardless, things are looking quite volatile. One of Gaddafi's sons has admitted that the east has been lost.

Libyan PM Gaddafi may have fled country, says Al Jazeera, citing unconfirmed reports | The Daily Telegraph
