Libyan Regime Could Collapse From Within, U.S. Officials Say -- L.A. Times

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton say they have received hints that some officials close to Moammar Kadafi may be ready to abandon him.

Top Obama administration officials predicted that Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi's regime may crack from within, as allied warplanes, resurgent rebels and the international community put more pressure on Tripoli.

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in appearances on Sunday talk shows, said they had received indications that some officials close to Kadafi might be ready to abandon him.
