Rasmussen: We are concerned about the possible role of Al Qaeda in Libya long-term

The NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has acknowledged that the Alliance is concerned about the potential "role of Al Qaeda in Libya long term." Rasmussen has acknowledged that the terrorist organization is not playing a significant role at present in the area, but if the current civil war ends in a failed state, everything could change.

"Therefore we must do everything possible to achieve a political solution," he said. "Terrorists can get at the long-term instability." Rasmussen has also been suggested that the solution lies in a cease-fire "credible", "that can be checked effectively." Furthermore, she added that the cease-fire "should promote a political process to implement political reforms and meet the legitimate desires of the Libyan people."
