NATO, EU to discuss Libya options



BRUSSELS: NATO and EU ministers are to meet to lay out options to deal with Libya's Moamer Kadhafi as leaders ponder military and economic options to resolve the crisis in oil-rich Libya.

The meeting will bring together defence ministers, foreign ministers and prime ministers or presidents for talks Thursday and Friday that will shape the prospects for military intervention via a no-fly zone, humanitarian aid and economic props.

"The policy is getting him to go as soon as possible," said a senior EU diplomat of Colonel Moamer Kadhafi, the one-time pariah whose rehabilitation by Britain, France, Italy and others is now the subject of global hand-wringing.

"No one is expecting Kadhafi will melt away in the next few days, but we are developing a range of responses," added the source, who requested anonymity.

The stakes are high, with oil prices flying and the prospect of a flood of migrants crossing from north Africa into Europe uppermost in the minds of many.

The EU's 27 foreign ministers start the ball rolling in mid-morning when they arrive for talks preparing a full summit of leaders the next day.

Britain and France are lobbying for a United Nations Security Council imprimatur for a no-fly zone. But anxious Washington wants any military action conducted under the banner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, with Arab regional backing seen there as essential.
