The United Nations now reports more than 250,000 people have fled Libya to escape the fighting. Meanwhile, at least two foreign journalists remain missing following their arrest by Gaddafi’s forces earlier this week. Guardian reporter Ghaith Abdul-Ahad and Andrei Netto of the Brazilian newspaper, Estado, are being held at undisclosed locations. Soazig Dollet of Reporters Without Borders condemned their arrests.

Soazig Dollet: “There were clear declarations from the Foreign Ministry of—the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Libya that those journalists entered illegally, are collaborating with al-Qaeda forces. So there’s really a concern for those two journalists who had been arrested on Sunday in Zawiyah, and we really hope for their release coming soon.”
