To no-fly or not to no-fly Libya — RT

7 March 2011 — RT

While the UK and France are drafting a resolution for the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, the US is reportedly attempting to intervene in the North African country indirectly by funneling weapons via Saudi Arabia.

Imposing a no-fly zone over the country would give allied planes the right to shoot down anything that took off inside Libya. The idea would be to prevent Colonel Muammar Gaddafi from turning his air force on his own people.

Muammar Gaddafi’s supporters are currently moving eastwards in order to reclaim towns which they lost during the popular uprising, Al Jazeera television has reported on Tuesday. According to the channel, pro-Gaddafi forces have retaken the town of Bin Jawad in central Libya and moved on to the oil port of Ras Lanuf.
