BBC News - Libya: UN backs action against Colonel Gaddafi
I guess it won't take long until US, UK and French planes can be seen in Lybian skies.
Good look and good hunting to the pilots and aircrews and hopefully this will help the Lybian people in overthrowing Col. Gaddafi.
UN Security Council Resolution 1937 also says, that no ground forces are to be used (aside from CSAR, I guess).
BBC said:The UN Security Council has backed a no-fly zone over Libya and "all necessary measures" to protect civilians short of an occupation.
It was not immediately clear what form intervention would take and when it would begin, though France signalled that action could start soon.
The resolution appears to give legal weight to attacks against Col Muammar Gaddafi's ground forces.
Col Gaddafi's forces have recently retaken several towns seized by rebels.
Rebel forces reacted with joy to the UN resolution in their Benghazi stronghold, but a government spokesman condemned UN "aggression".
Loyalist forces are bearing down on Benghazi, home to a million people.
