Turkey backs NATO command of Libya operations

Foreign minister says command of military operations in Libya will be transferred from US to NATO within a day or two.

Command of military operations in Libya will be transferred from the US to NATO within a day or two, Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's foreign minister, has announced. Turkey had helped to implement a naval blockade of Libya, but had earlier expressed concern about the alliance taking over operational command of the UN-backed no-fly zone from the US. Speaking to journalists on Thursday, Davutoglu said: "Compromise has been reached in principle in a very short time. "The operation will be handed over to NATO completely." Davutoglu said this would happen as soon as possible, within one or two days. He said agreement had been reached in a teleconference with his counterparts from the US, France and Britain. NATO will take command of the international coalition's military operations in Libya on Monday or Tuesday, a Davutoglu's announcement followed a fouth days of talks over the issue at a NATO summit in Brussels. All 28 members of NATO needed to back any agreement and Turkey had previously rejected backing any plan unless it was given assurances that the operation would be limited to protecting civilians, enforcing an arms embargo and a no-fly zone, and providing humanitarian aid. US admiral James Stavridis, NATO's overall commander, was in Turkey on Thursday to convince leaders there to back the agreement on the alliance's role. Critical voices The need to forge a consensus on Libya that involved Turkey and retained Arab support had becomes more critical each day, after NATO talks began on Monday. Along with Turkey, Germany had also proved to be an obstacle to any agreement, abstaining from the UN Security Council vote that initially approved the no-fly zone, and reportedly refusing to help enforce the international arms embargo on Libya on Wednesday. China, India and Russia, which all abstained from the Security Council vote, have repeatedly criticised the military action, and remaining in the lead role had exposed the US to their disapproval. China's foreign ministry reiterated its call for a ceasefire on Thursday, warning that the conflict could escalate and "worsen the situation region-wide". "We believe that the objective of enforcing the UN Security Council resolution is to protect humanitarian [objectives] and not to create an even bigger humanitarian disaster," spokesman Jiang Yu said. The three nations, as well as South Africa and Brazil, are expected to raise their concerns at a Security Council meeting on Thursday, where Ban will deliver a briefing on the operation. Jacob Zuma, the South African president, said his country "rejected any foreign intervention, whatever its form". Thought some observers thought South Africa would abstain at the Security Council last week, it voted in favour of resolution 1973. In an interview on Thursday, Ban rejected concerns that the operation would stall or reach a quagmire. "I think this is different than other situations," he said. "I believe that the international coalition will have a successful operation." |

Ankara offers ships and submarine to help enforce arms embargo on Libya as talks over NATO's role in Libya continue.

Turkey has offered four frigates, a submarine and a support ship to help NATO enforce a UN arms embargo on Libya, the military alliance has said. Brigadier Pierre St Amand, a NATO military officer, said the alliance had so far received offers of 16 ships from a number of countries to implement the mission. He said the ships included: a command-and-control ship from Italy; 10 frigates, including four from Turkey and one each from Britain, Spain, Greece, Italy, Canada and the US; submarines from Spain, Italy and Turkey; and auxiliary ships from Italy and Turkey. St Amand said the NATO mission was authorised to use armed force to enforce the embargo. Turkey, a NATO member, has said the air campaign over Libya led by France, the US and Britain has already gone beyond the scope of last week's UN Security Council resolution to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians. In a speech to his ruling AK Party on Tuesday, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the country's prime minister, said Turkey "will never point a gun at the Libyan people" and would explain its position to NATO allies. The BBC reported on Wednesday that Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, had cautioned the international coalition not to follow any hidden agenda over its operations in Libya. Gul said it was "obvious" that some coalition countries saw the conflict as an opportunity for themselves. The NATO mission will have the means to intercept and board suspicious ships, and the authority to fire a warning shot across the bow, a NATO official said on condition of anonymity. "If after inspection, doubts remain as to the legitimacy of the cargo, the vessel will be diverted to a designated port for further inspection," St Amand said. The operation was officially launched late on Tuesday after envoys of the 28-nation alliance gave the green light. UK summit William Hague, the UK foreign minister, said on Wednesday that Britain would host an international conference in London next Tuesday to discuss progress on the Libyan intervention. "At the conference we will discuss the situation in Libya with our allies and partners and take stock of the "We will consider the humanitarian needs of the Libyan people and identify ways to support the people of Libya in their aspirations for a better future." Hague said a "wide and inclusive range of countries" would be invited, particularly from the region. "It is critical that the international community continues to take united and coordinated action in response to the unfolding crisis," he said. "The meeting will form a contact group of nations to take forward this work." Earlier French officials said the meeting would be at foreign minister level and would include the African Union, the Arab League and the associated European countries. 'Technical role' Meanwhile, Nato ambassadors held a third day of talks in Brussels to decide on the extent of NATO involvement in the UN-mandated mission. The envoys are trying to reach agreement on who should lead military operations against Muammar Gaddafi's forces, with France saying NATO will have only a "technical role". The US, Britain and France agreed on Tuesday that the alliance should play a key operational role, but the agreement of all 28 NATO states is needed and they have been split over whether it should also exercise political control. There was no immediate word on whether Ankara would accept a compromise at the meeting. France, which launched the air campaign against Libya with Britain and the US on Saturday, argues that having a US-led NATO in charge would erode Arab support because of the alliance's unpopularity in the Arab world. Qatar has sent four warplanes, the United Arab Emirates has offered support, and David Cameron, the British prime minister, said Kuwait and Jordan had agreed to make logistical contributions to protect civilians in Libya. France wants to create an ad hoc steering group of member states of the coalition, including the Arab League, to exercise political control. Laurence Lee, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Brussels, said the US, the French and the British had come to "some sort of accommodation with each other" but that there was still no final agreement. Lee said: "On one level, the Americans, the British, have their way ... that NATO would run the military aspect of things and in turn the French would have their way, the Nato political command wouldn't be in charge and instead the plan says there would be a different sort of umbrella grouping. "[This] would take in not just foreign ministers from Western NATO countries but foreign ministers from countries, for example, like Qatar or the Arab League ... to demonstrate a much bigger political umbrella and give a nod to the fact that NATO is acutely aware that this could be inflammatory to Muslim and Arab sensibilities." One possible model would be the structure of the NATO-led International Peace Assistance Force in Afghanistan, in which non-NATO participating nations get a seat in the political steering group, diplomats said. "For reasons of efficiency, we want a single command structure to run the coalition action, and NATO has such capabilities, so we must use its resources," Francois Baroin, a French government spokesman, said after a cabinet meeting in Paris. "We are working to ensure that the coalition continues to retain the political leadership," Baroin said. "Talks with our allies are being finalised. It''s not quite nailed down yet." Overnight movement The US, Britain, Italy and Norway all want to put NATO in charge. Turkey has said the alliance's role should be governed by several conditions, including an end to the military campaign as soon as possible. NATO diplomats said there was a constructive mood going into Wednesday's meeting, but it was unclear if there would be an agreement. A European diplomat said there appeared to be have been a shift in the French position following consultations between Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, and Barack Obama, the US president, overnight that could make a political deal possible. "The line we now have is that NATO should have a key role in the command structure ... that's a little bit short of the lead role, but different from where France was a couple of days ago," the diplomat said. Key to finding a deal would be to agree a mechanism which would allow for Arab involvement in the political leadership of the mission, the diplomat said. Obama, under domestic pressure to limit US involvement, said on Tuesday he had "absolutely no doubt" a deal would be reached soon. The question of who takes over leadership of the Libya mission is crucial for Obama, who has stressed limited US involvement to both voters and politicians worried about US forces becoming bogged down in another Muslim country while still occupied in Iraq and Afghanistan. |

Divisions arise between coalition carrying out military action and other world powers over UN-sanctioned operation.

The international military campaign in Libya has created apparent divisions between coalition leaders carrying out the UN-sanctioned operation and other world powers. The UN-backed air raids mounted so far against forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have been carried out by Britain, France and the US, acting outside of their NATO roles. Calls for the NATO alliance to take over the enforcement of the no-fly zone have been declined by Turkey, while other members have expressed concerns over whether NATO aircraft and equipment would be diverted from other missions, including the one in Afghanistan. William Hague, the British foreign minister, refused on Monday to rule out using the coalition air raids to target Gaddafi, saying it depended on "circumstances at the time". But Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said such action would be "unwise" and Laurent Teisseire, the French defence ministry spokesman, said "the answer is no," when asked about the subject. Medieval 'crusade' In Russia, Vladimir Putin, Russia's prime minister, criticised the UN resolution that sanctioned the use of force in Libya, calling it a "medieval call to crusade". "The resolution by the Security Council, of course, is defective and flawed," Russian news agencies quoted Putin as telling workers on a visit to a missile factory. "To me, it resembles some sort of medieval call to crusade when someone would appeal to someone to go to a certain place and free someone else." Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, later said the reference to "crusades and so forth" was unacceptable, but although it appeared to be a rebuke, he did not mention Putin by name. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee, reporting from Brussels, said: "There's lots of cracks just developing, some of them inside the European Union and some of them outside. "The comments by Vladimir Putin, for example - who is prime minister, remember, he's not the president so he's supposed to be in charge of domestic, not foreign policy ... demonstrate how this campaign in Libya is driving wedges between people who are supposed to be allies nowadays." The UN resolution imposing the no-fly zone on Libya was passed after Russia, which has a veto, abstained during the Security Council vote. 'Gaddafi not a target' As the military campaign continued in Libya, world leaders sought to reiterate the aim of the operation. British General Sir David Richards, the head of Britain's armed forces, said on Monday that Gaddafi was "absolutely not" a target for military action. The US has also said that the military operation is not aimed at regime change, but at enforcing a no-fly zone to protect Libya's civilian population from attacks by Gaddafi forces. However, Barack Obama, the US president, said on Monday that the UN mandate authorising the no-fly zone is clear, and that the Libyan leader "needs to go". Obama also said that the US expects to transfer its lead role in the military action on Libya to its allies. "We anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not in a matter of weeks," he said. The US has said there is no evidence civilians in Libya have been harmed in the air assault. Meanwhile in Germany, Guido Westerwelle, the country's foreign minster, speaking in Brussels, defended his country's decision not to back air raids against Gaddafi's forces. He said that the Arab League criticism of the air attacks had vindicated Germany's reluctance to back the action, but that Germany stood with other European Union countries in tightening sanctions against the Libyan government. |

| Airbus faces charges over Air France crash | ||||||

Posted here on 18 March 2011
Plane maker's head says preliminary charges were filed after judge Sylvie Zimmerman met company's lawyers.

A French judge has ruled that Airbus be investigated for alleged manslaughter over the 2009 crash of an Air France plane. Thomas Enders, the European plane maker's chief, said the preliminary charges were filed after judge Sylvie Zimmerman met Airbus lawyers on Thursday. All 228 people aboard the Rio de Janeiro-Paris flight were killed when the Airbus A330 jet crashed into the Atlantic on June 1, 2009. The preliminary charges allow for further investigation. Sensors on the jet sent faulty air speed readings to the pilots
before the crash, though the role of the sensors in the accident is
unclear. Charges against Airbus, the world's top plane maker by orders in 2010 and a rival of Chicago-based Boeing Co, are unusual but not unprecedented. The company's employees have been charged in France in previous crashes. Intense thunderstorm The A330-200 went down amid an intense, high-altitude thunderstorm. Specialists are launching a fourth undersea search effort next week for the plane's so-called black boxes, or flight recorders.
"We are convinced if we find the black boxes we'll be able to reconstruct what really happened on this tragic flight Air France 447," Enders said. Airbus officials say the search is a company priority. Air France and Airbus will finance the estimated $12.5m cost of the new search, in which three advanced underwater robots will scour the mountainous ocean floor between Brazil and western Africa, in depths of up to 4,000 metres (13,120 feet). Already $27.5m has been spent on three previous search attempts that failed to find Flight 447's voice and data recorders. Airbus knew since at least 2002 about problems with the type of speed sensor that malfunctioned on the doomed jet but air safety authorities did not order their replacement until after the crash, according to the Associated Press news agency. |
