WASHINGTON: Libyan leader Moamer Qadhafi has lost legitimacy and must leave office, US President Barack Obama said Thursday.

“The United States and the entire world continues to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people,” Obama told a press conference at the White House.

“Going forward, we will continue to send a clear message: The violence must stop. Moamar Kadhafi has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave.”
