Turkish navy to help enforce Libya embargo

Source: AJE

Turkey has offered four frigates, a submarine and a support ship to help NATO enforce a UN arms embargo on Libya, the military alliance has said.

Brigadier Pierre St Amand, a NATO military officer, said the alliance had so far received offers of 16 ships from a number of countries to implement the mission.

He said the ships included: a command-and-control ship from Italy; 10 frigates, including four from Turkey and one each from Britain, Spain, Greece, Italy, Canada and the US; submarines from Spain, Italy and Turkey; and auxiliary ships from Italy and Turkey.

1. That's good

because it further helps prevent arms getting to either side. All they got to do now is lock down the border with Egypt.

2. I would prefer arming the rebels.

But keeping arms from getting to Ghaddafi is the important thing.
