Libya uprising: US 'not ruling out military options'

The US said on Monday it was still considering a possible military response to the situation in Libya, along with its allies.

Plans for a possible no-fly zone over Libya are moving closer in response to air strikes against rebel-held areas by Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the prospect of a no-fly zone is being discussed as well as military aspects of humanitarian assistance.
