West Prepares for Intervention in Libya.

Pulbished on:
London, 13 December 2015(Lana) The British Daily Telegraph yesterday published a report, citing sources at the UK Defense and Feign Ministries on Britain's preparation with collaboration with European allies for a possible military intervention in Libya to confront growing threats by terrorist groups. The paper quoted British official sources as saying London was deeply concerned by the growing influence of the terror groups in Libya, including those linked to Da'esh, with the threat they posed to Europe from the southern Mediterranean coast. The intervention could start with a military support and equipment to the anticipated government in Libya, the paper added. Meanwhile, the British Ambassador to Libya Peter Mallet said in an interview with Sky News Arab channel his country 'was prepared to intervene militarily to combat terrorism in Libya once the government of national unity demanded it to do so.' The British Armed Forces Minister Bennie Mordon said her country was closely monitoring the terrorist groups in Libya, saying they threatened the country, the neighboring states and the British interests in the region. However, the French Prime Minister Manuel Vals has earlier called for joint international effort to combat terrorism in Libya. France also conducted reconnaissance flights over Libya, to assess the threat of the terrorist groups there. Italy is also working on a plan to provide military support for Libya to confront terrorist groups and was seeking the support of European allies once the Libyan new government has been formed. =Lana=
