NATO Extends Libya Bombing Campaign

HeadlineSep 22, 2011

NATO has extended its military campaign in Libya by another three months. NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced the move.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen: “Today, the NATO council has decided to extend our operation in Libya for now, while keeping the situation under regular review. We are determined to continue our mission for as long as necessary, but also ready to terminate it as soon as possible. This technical rollover is for up to 90 days, but the regular review allows us to end our tasks at any time, and we will do this in close coordination with the United Nations and the Libyan authorities.”
