The Voice of America reports:
EU officials meeting in Brussels {on Monday, Feb. 28,} say the 27-nation bloc has agreed to a package of sanctions against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, reinforcing measures adopted by the U.N. Security Council last week.
Officials say the EU sanctions include an arms embargo, asset freeze and visa ban on Gadhafi and members of his inner circle - measures already included in a U.N. Security Council resolution approved on Saturday.
{On the same day,} U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a human rights conference in Geneva that Gadhafi must leave immediately. She said the Libyan people should shape their own government. She urged the international community to work together on Libya's next steps and said Washington is keeping many options open to help stop the government crackdown in Libya.
