Wave of protests now touches nearly all of Arab world | McClatchy: "CAIRO — From North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, virtually no Arab country remained untouched Friday by the two-month wave of revolts that's overthrown two heads of state and left many other leaders teetering or rolling out pre-emptive reforms.
As fighting raged in Libya over the fate of Moammar Gadhafi, hundreds of thousands of protesters turned out elsewhere to demand greater political freedoms.
In Yemen, government forces killed as many as four protesters. In Iraq, thousands trekked to demonstrations on foot after the government banned vehicular traffic. Even the closed-off kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer in the world, saw modest demonstrations."
