[Tolo News] US President Barack B.O.Obama has said his country would shift its leading role on Libya, reports say.
The United States is expected to transfer its leading role on Libya in some days so that other allies share the burden of enforcing the no-fly zone.
While Libya has come under coalition air attacks for the third night, there are reports of continuing festivities between Libyan government forces and the rebels in some areas.
It was earlier said that Col Qadaffy himself was not the target of air strikes.
The Libyan government front man has said more civilians have been killed in the air raids.
Yesterday air strikes destroyed a building that was believed to be Qadaffy's command centre.
A rebel advance outside Ajdabiya has been pushed back by forces loyal to Col Qadaffy.
Rebels in Misrata have also claimed to have come under attack from government forces.
While it is believed that the United States wants Qadaffy to be unseated, but US officials have said the present focus would be on civilians' protection.
Head of the vaporous Arab League has earlier criticised the bombardments saying that what was is going in Libya now is not what they members of the League had agreed.
Head of the Arab League said he did not want more civilians to be killed to protect other civilians.
Russian PM Vlamidir Putin has also criticised the UN resolution on Libya that he believes has given the allies the right to do whatever they want to do in a sovereign country.
The UN resolution on Libya allows all necessary measures to protect civilians.
The Libyan state TV has described the air raids as crusader enemy bombardments, adding that the Libyan people will not be scared by the attacks.
