Paris: A meeting of leaders from Britain, the US, France, and Arab countries is scheduled to be held in Paris to discuss military action in Libya under a new UN resolution.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is also attending the meeting, said the world must “speak with one voice” on Libya.
Thursday’s Security Council resolution authorised “all necessary measures” to protect civilians.
US President Barack Obama said pro-Gaddafi forces must stop attacking rebel areas or face military action.
“Gaddafi must stop his troops from advancing on Benghazi, pull them back from Ajdabiya, Misrata and Zawiya and establish water, electricity and gas supplies to all areas,” he said on Friday.
But in line with the resolution, Obama ruled out using US ground forces.
Early on Saturday, explosions and the sound of jets were reportedly heard close to Benghazi, but there were few details and the reports could not be confirmed.
