Obama calls for Gadhafi to leave power immediately
President Obama said Muammar Gadhafi has lost the legitimacy to rule and must step down now. The White House, joined by Secretary of State Clinton, announced sanctions freezing Libyan assets, closing the U.S. embassy, and revoking visas for Gadhafi officials. The UN Security Council backed sanctions and referred the case to the war crimes tribunal as Gadhafi’s crackdown continues.
