CAIRO: Arab League ambassadors will meet today to discuss the deepening conflict in Libya, the bloc’s deputy secretary general Ahmed Ben Helli said.
The meeting at the Cairo-based League was requested by Libya’s internationally recognised government, which is battling Islamist-backed militias, and supported by its two leading regional backers. “The meeting will be devoted to discussing the dangerous developments that Libya is experiencing, the increase in violence and acts of terrorism,” Ben Helli told reporters yesterday.
These acts “are affecting not only individuals... but also vital economic infrastructure on which the wealth of the Libyan people depends, particularly oil storage tanks.” AFP
