NATO pulls out its troops from Libya
The U.N. Security Council plans on Thursday to end its authorization for a 7-month-old NATO military operation in Libya that led to the ouster and death of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Reuters reports.
The plan to cancel the mandate comes despite a request from Libya's interim government for the Security Council to wait until the National Transitional Council makes a decision on whether it wants NATO to help it secure its borders.
If the resolution is approved, as expected, the U.N. mandate would lapse October 31 at 11:59 p.m. Libyan time (5:59 p.m. EDT).
