White House: Exile an option for Gaddafi

Going into exile would be one option for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in meeting international demands that he leave power, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Carney, asked by reporters whether the United States would help facilitate exile for Gaddafi, said this was a bit of speculation that he would not discuss.

Carney also said the United States and its allies are in talks on whether to create a no-fly zone over Libya.

All options remain on the table for Libya, he said.
