The Obama administration has announced plans to send a U.S. aid team to the rebel-controlled eastern Libya. Testifying before a House panel, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also announced she will meet with members of the Libyan opposition.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “We remain engaged with the Libyan sanctions committee at the United Nations to consider tougher measures as the situation develops, and we are reaching out to the opposition inside and outside of Libya. I will be meeting with some of those figures, both here in the United States and when I travel next week, to discuss what more the United States and others can do.”
