The conflict in Libya has left around 10,000 dead and 55,000 injured, according to Rome on Tuesday said the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, quoting the head of the Libyan National Transitional Council (CNT), Mustafa Abdeljalil, whom he met Tuesday in Rome. In an appearance before the media after the meeting, Frattini called on the CNT to the Contact Group meeting on Libya to be held in the same area of Italy on 2 May and in addressing issues such as aid for the defense the Libyan people and the sale of oil extracted in the area of the country under rebel control.
As for the defense of the Libyan population, Abdelyalil considered that air strikes against Gaddafi's troops carried out the allied coalition "are not sufficient" and "not fully protects" the people. "The UN resolution 1973 does not prohibit the aid in terms of self-defense but as other countries have different views, is an issue we face," he said.
Italy is ready to provide "technical means" to the rebels and equipment for the interception or radar but ruled out ground troops participate. "We believe there to be avoided," said Frattini regarding the possible deployment of Italian troops on the ground. Frattini said that Italy continues to participate in military operations in Libya with its naval, military bases, aircraft and providing humanitarian aid.
