- Amnesty International has condemned the killing of Al Jazeera cameraman Ali Hassan Al Jaber in Libya and warned of a campaign of attacks and harassment on journalists.
"It appears that the Al Jazeera team was brutally and deliberately targeted," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director.
"Coming so soon after the detention and torture by Colonel Gaddafi's forces of three BBC staff -- who were subjected to beatings and mock executions -- and the detention of other journalists, this killing is most disturbing."
"It is essential that this killing and the other abuses against journalists are investigated as part of the UN Human Rights Council's investigation into the situation in Libya. Those responsible for the killing of Ali Hassan Al Jaber must be held accountable for their actions." - AFP reports: France is pushing to "speed up" multilateral efforts for a no-fly zone over Libya to curb the civil conflict there, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in a statement.

- Discussing the imposition of no-fly zone over Libya, Yousef Bouandel of Qatar University, told Al Jazeera, "Now that the Arab League has supported the no-fly zone, I think that within the next 72 hours or so the Security Council will meet and decide.
"Given what happened in Iraq, they want the no-fly zone but do not want any military intervention.
"In the last 72 hours, Gaddafi forces have been gaining momentum, obviously he wanted to gain as much as possible before the imposition of the no-fly zone."And in the long run, it's obvious that Gaddafi's government in Libya will win the war if it continues for another two months or so." - Al Jazeera's Birtley says that people here have welcomed the fact that the no-fly zone option has been supported by the Arab League.
