Top of the Hour: UN Meets on Libya, Morning Headlines

The Takeaway

As Gadhafi continues to use violence against his own people, the U.N. meets to discuss how to respond. Libya’s own deputy U.N. ambassador has said, “what’s going on in Libya is a real genocide against the Libyan people.

But at the same time, there are reports of continued violence against anti-government forces and protesters.
