Libya News:NATO countries have agreed to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya “to protect civilians” against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters.He said the military alliance’s mandate did not go beyond the no-fly zone but NATO could also act in self-defence.He appeared to contradict an earlier statement by Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey’s foreign minister, that NATO would take command of all coalition military operations in Libya.“At this moment, there will still be a coalition operation and a NATO operation,” Rasmussen said. “But we are considering whether NATO should take on that broader responsibility in accordance with the UN Security Council resolution, but that decision has not been made yet.”

Until then, the bombing campaign against Gaddafi’s tanks and artillery, which kicked off six days ago, will stay in the hands of the coalition led by the United States, Britain and France for the moment.
Rasmussen’s announcement followed days of negotiations and a breakthrough on Thursday when Turkey agreed to back the plan.Read more
