Libya offers reward for info on protest leaders as unrest persists
Gadhafi has lost control of a significant section of the beleaguered country, ranging at least from Egypt's border to Benghazi, more than 500 km away.
The Libyan People's Committee for General Security on Thursday called on protesters to surrender their weapons and offered rewards for those who provide information on protest leaders, in a statement broadcast live on Libyan TV.
Libyan security has cracked down on anti-government protesters and fighting has spread to the capital Tripoli after erupting in Libya's oil-producing east last week with no signs of Leader Muammar Gadhafi stepping down after 41 years in power.
