White House condemns violence in Libya as "Appalling" Posted by Meosha Eaton

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The White House on Tuesday condemned what it called "appalling violence" against anti-government protesters in Libya and said it is working with the international community to speak with one voice on the Libyan situation.

White House spokesman Jay Carney, aboard Air Force One as President Barack Obama headed for a business event in Ohio, urged Libya to respect the rights of its people. He also told reporters that the administration was closely monitoring any effects on oil prices from ongoing Middle East unrest. (Reporting by Matt Spetalnick)
