Gadaffi on a roll.....
Libya has closed its airports and severed phone links with the outside world in the latest demand for compensation from former colonial power, Italy.
People who phoned Libya received a recorded message: "As part of the mourning over the victims of the savage crimes committed by the Italian fascists against the Libyan people, all international telecommunications are to be halted today."
Gaddafi's protests continue despite apology
Libyans wore black to mark the Day of Mourning and black banners fluttered over homes, government buildings, buses and cars said the official Libyan news agency, JANA.
Airports were closed down, but opened briefly for a visit by Amr Moussa, secretary general of the Arab League, which Libya is threatening to leave.
Libyan satellite television broadcast its programmes in black and white on Saturday.
