克林顿赴土耳其讨论利比亚局势

2011-07-15来源:VOA

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to Turkey Thursday to discuss the situation in Libya, a day after warning Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi that his days in power "are numbered" and that the international community will soon increase the pressure on him to leave.Clinton departs Washington for Istanbul, where she will attend a meeting with representatives from more than 40 nations that are backing NATO's operations in Libya.
 
Meanwhile, rebels are planning their next moves after retaking a strategic village Wednesday about 100 kilometers south of the capital, Tripoli. The recent success boosts rebel plans for a march on the capital, which is a stronghold of Mr. Gadhafi.The retaking of the village of Al-Qawalish came after bitter clashes that killed at least two opposition fighters and wounded 15 others. Rebel forces want to use Al-Qawalish as a staging post to take the nearby town of Garyan, which controls access to the main highway heading north to Tripoli.
