Libyan Rebels Said to Debate Seeking U.N. Airstrikes

Rebel leaders are growing more frustrated over Col. Muammer el-Qaddafi's power trip in Libya and are debating asking for Western airstrikes under the United Nations banner. By invoking the United Nations, a council of opposition leaders made up of lawyers, academics, judges and others will help distinguish betweenairstrikes and foreign intervention, which the rebels said they emphatically opposed. The people of Libya would prefer to see Qaddafi fall without any outside help but do acknowledge the amount of destruction he has caused already and are ready to take the next step in toppling him.
