Washington: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that any decision to impose a no-fly zone should be made by the UN and not by the US.
She said that it was important such a move came from the Libyan people, rather than being a US-led effort.
Calls for military intervention are growing as pro-Gaddafi forces bombard areas held by Libyan rebels.
Rebels are fighting to oust Col Gaddafi, and more than 1,000 people are believed to have been killed.
Some 200,000 others have been displaced by the fighting.
Mrs Clinton reiterated her government’s call for Col Gaddafi to step down peacefully, but warned that the crisis in Libya could be protracted.
