Clinton: U.S. suspending relationships with Libyan Embassy - CNN.com

Washington (CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, testifying Thursday before the House Appropriations Committee, said, "We are suspending our relationships with the existing Libyan embassy so we expect them to end operating as the embassy of Libya."

A senior administration official, speaking on background because he was not authorized to speak on the record, tells CNN, "This is recognition that Gadhafi is no longer the legitimate leader of Libya and therefore his representatives should leave."
