While world leaders weigh the prospect of a “no fly zone” in Libya, Col. Muammar Gadhafi is pushing those loyal to him to retake parts of eastern Libya, Libyan officials and news reports say.

“A decision needs to be made,” said a former Libyan official. “People are dying in the streets, Gadhafi will continue to kill if something isn’t done and the world needs to show that it stands by the Libyan people.”
