Broke into large numbers of Libyan citizens in several cities east of the country thousands of housing units, which promised the people of the State for several years and have not received their respective owners, especially in light of the rampant problem of housing in the country.

This was a break-after interview with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi - at the popular city of Sabha - in which he attacked what he called autocratic regimes that prevent people from exercising power as is the case in Libya, according to the recipe, and called in his speech to give people housing and more.

The sources said the Libyan press informed by telephone of the island revealed that thousands of citizens stormed the project contains 800 residential units in the area Aguarcp city of Benghazi, which broke into the apartments that are not delivered to their owners and took them. The sources pointed out that the storming operation was central to the support troops and police battalions, which pulled out of the place, and left the door open for headstrong to use these apartments.

The sources expressed the belief that "superior orders were issued from Tripoli to the security forces not to obstruct the citizens and prevent them from storming the house, in order to gain time and to contain any anger unexpected by the masses, especially in light of the housing problem which is one of the fundamental problems in Libya."

Saudi Arabia has welcomed Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his family a day after they fled an mass uprising in their country.

A statement released by the country's monarchy said the decision to welcome Ben Ali was based on appreciation of the "exceptional circumstances" in Tunisia.

"Out of concern for the exceptional circumstances facing the brotherly Tunisian people and in support of the security and stability of their country... the Saudi government has welcomed President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his family to the kingdom," the statement said.

A Saudi source told Al Jazeera that Ben Ali's plane had landed in Jeddah, a city on the Red Sea coast, but did not specify who had accompanied him to the kingdom.
