The Egyptian state ordered the army unit in Benghazi to open fire with live rounds on the local population !!
They (the army unit in Benghazi) refused to fire on unarmed civilians, so an army unit from Tripoli were called to open fire on the army unit from Benghazi - they shot and killed 150 members of the Benghazi army unit, the rest of the unit were imprisoned in the local jail.
The army unit from Tripoli then left Benghazi (reports say they 'ran away' ?) and then the local population freed the Benghazi army unit from prison - the Benghazi army unit have now unsurprisingly defected to the side of the protesters.
It sounds like mayhem.
