Anti-Gadhafi fighters appear to have the resources to carry on the fight against the Libyan government for some time, according to a U.S. official.
“This could be a sustained conflict,” said the official, but acknowledged this was a fluid situation.
When asked if the conflict in Libya was now becoming a civil war, the official, who is knowledgeable about U.S. assessments, said the fighting “has the characteristics of a civil war.”
