This video image broadcast on Libyan state television Sunday Feb. 20, 2011 shows Al-Bayda local council building on fire in Libya's third biggest city Al-Bayda, on Sunday after days of bloody protests against the government of ruler Moammar Gadhafi. Al-Bayda's local government building was set on fire during the protests and other unidentified buildings appear to have been looted and ransacked. It's unclear who caused the damage. Libyans have now been protesting for six straight days against Gadhafi's regime - the most serious uprising in his 42-year reign. AP
