The Tunisian expatriates told ABC News they were leaving both because of the violence -- telling stories of gunfire in the night -- and because of fear that Gadhafi has stirred anger at foreigners in his country.

ABC News' Phoebe Natanson in Malta, Kirit Radia and Jean-Nicholas Fievet contributed to this report.
