Gaddafi pushes ahead as Arab League calls for help
None
Muammar Gaddafi tightened his grip Saturday on the coastal road linking his territory to the rebel-controlled east, pushing forward the front line in Libya's grueling internal conflict and showing off control of devastated towns just seized from the opposition.
The Arab League asked the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to protect the rebels, increasing pressure on the US and other Western powers to take action that most have expressed deep reservations about. The 22-nation league said after an emergency meeting in Cairo that it was asking the United Nations "to carry out its responsibility." (AP)
