Pressure mounts on Gaddafi within Libya's capital
None
Pressure is mounting on Moammar Gaddafi from within his stronghold in the Libyan capital, with increasing NATO airstrikes and worsening shortages of fuel and goods. An activist said Friday that there has also been a wave of anti-government protests in several Tripoli neighborhoods this week dissent that in the past has been met with zero tolerance and brutal force.
Gaddafi's rebel opposition, meanwhile, received major political boosts from abroad. Britain promised to provide them with police gear, and the Obama administration invited a rebel delegation to the White House for talks on Friday. (AP)
