UK Foreign Secretary William Hague urged Gaddafi to step down. We have here a country descending into civil war, with atrocious scenes of killing of protesters and a government actually making war on its own so of course it is time for Colonel Gaddafi to go. That is the best hope for Libya, Hague said. He said that he had signed a directive revoking his and his family diplomatic immunity.
