WASHINGTON - One of Washington's biggest concerns is that Libya will slide into chaos and become a haven for al Qaida much like Somalia though it does not now expect that, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

"One of our biggest concerns is Libya descending into chaos and becoming a giant Somalia," Clinton told US lawmakers. "It's right now not something that we see in the offing but many of the al Qaida activists in Afghanistan and later in Iraq came from Libya and came from eastern Libya, which is now the so-called free area of Libya."
