<p>Libyan security forces have opened fired on mourners at a funeral for anti-government protesters in the eastern city of Benghazi.</p>
<p>The attack came a day after commandos and foreign mercenaries loyal to long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi targeted demonstrators with assault rifles and other heavy weaponry as well as knives.</p>
<p>A doctor at one city hospital said he had counted 200 dead in his morgue alone since unrest began six days ago.</p>
<p>The crackdown in Libya is shaping up to be the most brutal repression of the anti-government protests that began with uprisings that toppled the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.</p>
<p>The latest violence in the flashpoint city of Benghazi followed the same pattern as the crackdown on Saturday, when witnesses said forces loyal to Gaddafi attacked mourners at a funeral for anti-government protesters.</p>
<p>The doctor at a Benghazi hospital said at least one person was killed by gunshots during the funeral march, and 14 were injured, including five in a serious condition. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.</p>
<p>A man shot in the leg said that marchers were carrying coffins to a cemetery when they passed a military compound in Libya&#8217;s second-largest city. The man said security forces fired in the air and then shot at the crowd.</p>
