Top officials from the United States, Europe and the Arab world have launched immediate military action to protect civilians as Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi’s forces attacked the heart of the country’s rebel uprising.

UK forces are preparing to help enforce a no-fly zone over Libya after the UN backed “all necessary measures”, short of an invasion, to protect civilians.

Downing Street have cautioned against earlier suggestions that British planes could be in action “within hours” and declined to put a timetable on it.

The UN resolution rules out a foreign occupation force in any part of Libya.

“QUESTION ENDS” appears to be set to a date that does conflict with the description.

SneakyPete • Sun Mar 13 2011 at 08:59pm PDT

Are you questioning my end date of the 26th, compared to the 30th date in the question? If so, that is the way I normally set my end date that is, prior to the “as of date” in the question. However, the caseout date would remain as stated in the question.

Ah, I see. I misunderstood what the end date is used for – thanks for clearing this up.

Nato weighs Libya no-fly zone options.

Britain and France draft UN security council resolution for no-fly zone as alliance begins 24-hour aerial surveillance over Libya.

Nato has begun 24-hour aerial surveillance over Libya as the alliance’s military planners met in Brussels to discuss options for establishing a no-fly zone.

The plans will be presented to defence ministers from the alliance’s 28 member states, who are due to meet in Brussels on Thursday, but western officials are insistent that Nato will not act without the backing of the UN security council.

The diplomatic discussions come amid reports that Libyan warplanes have launched at least four new air strikes near opposition positions in the oil port of Ras Lanouf in the east of the country. There has been no word on casualties.

NATO NATION LIST:

NOTE: To answer as a “YES” to the question, a NATO nation must have initiated a “No FlyZone” or have bombed Libyan airfields or Command and Control facilities to prevent Libyan aircraft fro taking off. Use of Tomahawk missles for example, would be considered as use of an air support asset, to answer this question.
