NATO forces may attack forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi if the Libyan air force continues to bomb anti-government protesters, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported, citing a European official claiming the US had threatened to intervene in the violence.


The source said NATO and US warplanes stationed in Italy may be ordered to take down Libyan planes, and that electronic warfare against them may already have been implemented. (Roee Nahmias)

1. The UN should be the ones getting involved
what is going on in Libya is border line genocide and it is defiantly crimes against humanity. The UN should be moving in to arrest Gaddafi.

5. They've done it before
Unfortunately they usually wait until the genocide is over and hundreds of thousands or millions are dead.
