Libyan national Hussein Hamed (49) is running as an Independent candidate for Dublin South. He said his stepbrother Abdulkareem Hamed (20) was killed on Sunday when he was struck by anti-aircraft fire from forces loyal to military leader Muammar Gaddafi.
He did so as the Department of Foreign Affairs last night urged Irish citizens to leave the troubled north African nation.
His young brother, who was studying economics at university in his hometown of Benghazi, was among an unknown number of protesters killed in Libya's second-largest city in recent days during a bloody crackdown by security forces.

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
