The death toll for the shelling of a rally in Libya's second city Benghazi protesting against a UN-proposed peace deal has jumped to 12, medics said.

At least 12 people died and 39 were wounded after a volley of shells hit the rally attended by hundreds of people, the LANA news agency close to the internationally recognised Libyan government reported on Saturday.

Those present were demonstrating against a proposed power-sharing deal put forward by Libya's UN envoy, Bernardino Leon.

On their Facebook pages, the Benghazi Medical Centre announced eight dead, while the city's Al-Jalaa hospital announced four had died. Medics initially said five people were killed.

They just don't matter at all, at all.

2. Who do you think did the shelling?

And what would you have non-Arabs do? Invade and restore order?

Remember the ostensible reason for places like Libya and Syria being subject to some sort of Western intervention?

A revolt of sorts by "progressive" forces against dictators who, it turns out, where Arab and whose repressive regimes killed, well, Arabs. (And in the case of Libya, not a few Berbers.)
