Italy is ready to coordinate
operations for the security and stabilisation of Libya but the
first condition is the formation of a national-unity government
and the request from that government to intervene, Foreign
Minister Paolo Gentiloni said in New York Tuesday. "The level of
planning and coordination among the various defence systems on a
possible contribution to the security of Libya is at a very
advanced level and has been going on for several weeks," he
said. The United States said Monday it would "strongly" support
Italy's lead role in the international coalition set to take
action in Libya once requested.
