<p>The streets of Libya&#8217;s capital are littered with the bodies of scores of protesters shot dead by security forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, an opposition leader has said.</p>
<p>Mohammed Ali of the Libyan Salvation Front said Tripoli&#8217;s inhabitants are hiding at home after the killings and warnings by forces loyal to Mr Gaddafi that anyone found outside would be shot.</p>
<p>Mr Ali said Mr Gaddafi&#8217;s forces shot at ambulances and some protesters were left bleeding to death.</p>
<p>The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said at least 250 people have been killed and hundreds more injured. Human Rights Watch has put the toll at at least 233 killed. The difficulty in getting information made obtaining a precise figure impossible.</p>
<p>The head of the UN agency, Navi Pillay, called for an investigation, saying widespread and systematic attacks against the civilian population &#8220;may amount to crimes against humanity.&#8221;</p>
<p>World leaders also have expressed outrage. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Mr Gaddafi to &#8220;stop this unacceptable bloodshed&#8221; and said the world was watching the events &#8220;with alarm.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Gaddafi, the longest serving Arab leader, appeared briefly on TV to dispel rumours that he had fled. Sitting in a car in front of what appeared to be his residence and holding an umbrella out of the passenger side door, he told an interviewer that he had wanted to go to the capital&#8217;s Green Square to talk to his supporters, but the rain stopped him.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am here to show that I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela. Don&#8217;t believe those misleading dog stations,&#8221; he said, referring to the media reports that he had left the country.</p>
<p>Pro-Gaddafi militia drove through Tripoli with loudspeakers and told people not to leave their homes as security forces sought to keep the unrest that swept eastern parts of the country &#8211; leaving the second-largest city of Benghazi in protesters&#8217; control &#8211; from overwhelming the capital of two million people.</p>
<p>Oil companies, including Italy&#8217;s Eni, Shell and BP have also begun evacuating their expat workers and/or their families, while British Airways and bmi cancelled their return flights to Tripoli on Tuesday.</p>
