Sarkozy says NATO operations in Libya must continue
Participants of a conference on the reconstruction of Libya approved on Thursday the continuation of NATO air operations until the threat posed by Muammar Gaddafi is extinguished, French President Nicholas Sarkozy said, according to RIA Novosti.
“We agreed to continue NATO airstrikes until Gaddafi and his supporters cease to represent a threat to Libya,” Sarkozy said after the talks.
Leaders and envoys from 60 countries and world organizations such as the United Nations and NATO met in Paris on Thursday for talks with Libya's National Transitional Council on the future of the North African state.
