The allied forces which have prevented their attack forces advance on Benghazi Libyan regime, extend to the capital, Tripoli, the no-fly zone, said today a U.S. commander. With this measure, the air operations of the allied forces could attack the Libyan regime troops stationed in the capital. During the weekend these attacks took place only in the city of Benghazi.
Gen. Carter Ham, the head of the Unified Command U.S. Africa based in Stuttgart, Germany, said in a press conference that since the beginning of the allied operations "no activity is observed aircraft (military) Libyans." U.S. forces and the United Kingdom have launched 12 Tomahawk guided missile attacks and military vessels from France, Spain and Italy "patrol the region to prevent illegal arms shipments to and from Libya," he said.
Meanwhile, the Security Council of the United Nations is preparing a meeting this afternoon (13:00 hours Mexico time) to review the current status of the offensive in Libya, which aims to protect civilians from attacks of the self- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
