French military jets over Libya
For weeks the international community wavered and dithered over what action should be taken in Libya to protect those fighting against the 42 year rule of Col. Gaddafi. So, the UN Security Council passes a No Fly Resolution. Gaddafi then announces a Cease Fire which is meant to placate the UN but it was just a ruse as right now pro Gaddafi attack the rebel held city of Benghazi. So, what has been done to protect this city nothing. Why was this resolution passed if the worlds governments had no intention of intervening in is this conflict.
Pro-Gaddafi forces enter Benghazi
A jet also appears to have been shot down over the city despite a declared ceasefire and a UN no-fly resolution.
World leaders are meeting in Paris to discuss military action.
The rebel's leader has appealed to the international community to stop the pro-Gaddafi bombardment, but the government denies it is attacking.
Reports suggest hundreds of cars packed with people were fleeing the city eastwards as fighting spread.
"Now there is a bombardment by artillery and rockets on all districts of Benghazi," rebel leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil told Al Jazeera television. "There will be a catastrophe if the international community does not implement the resolutions of the UN Security Council.
