None
US Senator John McCain on Friday called on the United States to recognize Libyan rebels' transitional council as the true voice of the Libyan people and transfer frozen assets to them.
McCain, speaking to reporters while visiting the rebel stronghold of Benghazi in eastern Libya, also called for NATO to step up its air campaign and said Western allies should provide rebels with training, weapons and command-and-control activities to help overthrow leader Muammar Gaddafi.
