In Libya, US senator John McCain has become the first high profile American politician to visit rebel-controlled city of Benghazi.

McCain met the leaders of the anti-government forces.

He told Al Jazeera he wants the US to formally recognise the National Transitional Council as the authentic voice of the Libyan people.

Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna reports from Benghazi.
