Clinton: Gaddafi must surrender power

Removing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is the best way to protect Libya's civilians, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said.

"We have made it abundantly clear that the best way to protect civilians is for Gaddafi to cease his ruthless, brutal attack on civilians from the west to the east, to withdraw from the cities that he is sieging and attacking and to leave power," Clinton said. "This is the outcome we are seeking."
