An emergency European Union summit on Libya brought a no-fly zone no closer, but leaders embraced a new Libyan opposition group as a viable partner after cutting all contact with strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi's regime has gained momentum with the capture of Zawiya after days of fierce fighting with rebels, in a key test of the government's ability to maintain its hold on the Libyan capital and surrounding areas.

A high-ranking member of the Libyan military flew to Cairo on Wednesday with a message for Egyptian army officials from Moammar Gadhafi, whose troops pounded opposition forces with artillery barrages and gunfire in at least two major cities. Gadhafi appeared to be keeping up the momentum he has seized in recent days in his fight against rebels trying to move on the capital, Tripoli, from territory they hold in eastern Libya.

In this photo taken Tuesday, March 8, 2011, Libyan businessman Fadlallah Haroun, 45, who spent seven years in Moammar Gadhafi's prisons without being charged, stands in a cell at a stormed security base in the city of Benghazi, the Katiba building, where he spent 14 days before being transferred to Abu Selim prison in Tripoli, Libya. Now that eastern Libya has ripped itself free from Gadhafi's grip, residents there finally feel safe to talk about what life was like under the regime. The stories they tell are stamped with the terror, paranoia and sinking sense of desperation instilled in the people by Gadhafi since he took power in a 1969 coup. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser) (AP)
