Arab League wants UN to impose no-fly zone on Libya

CAIRO – The Arab League on Saturday said it had called on the United Nations to impose a no-fly zone in Libya, in a decision that will provide the regional support NATO has said is needed for any military action.
Libyan rebels fighting Muammar Gaddafi have said a no-fly zone to ground Libyan warplanes and to prevent the moving of troops by helicopter is vital if its forces are to succeed.
β€œThe Arab League has officially requested the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone against any military action against the Libyan people,” Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa told a news conference after a meeting of the group.
