 1. Gadhafi vows ‘long war’ The U.S. and European nations targeted Moammar Gadhafi’s forces with airstrikes and dozens of cruise missiles*, shaking the Libyan capital with explosions and the sound of gunfire on early Sunday. The Libyan leader promised a long war “with unlimited patience and deep faith.” State television said 48 people had died in the strikes, which marked the largest international military effort since the Iraq war. 2. Libya arms embargo planned NATO’s top decision-making body approved late on Sunday in Brussels military plan to implement the U.N. arms embargo* on Libya, but failed to agree on a plan for the alliance* to enforce the no-fly zone over the North African country. Diplomats said Turkey’s opposition* to any NATO intervention* in Libya stalled* the approval of plans to launch aerial* patrols* over Libya to prevent the government air force from attacking civilian targets, which were drawn up by NATO’s military staff. 3. Petrol prices reach record high Petrol prices have reached a record high amid the unrest* in Libya. Experts warn that costs will climb higher if air strikes damage the country’s oil infrastructure. Motoring organizations said the fighting in Libya had already pushed up oil prices, which could jump an additional US$5 a barrel if an oil plant is hit. |
