Colonel Gaddafi has threatened to attack passenger aircraft and shipping in the Mediterranean if foreign powers launch any air strikes against Libya.
“Any foreign military act well expose all air and maritime traffic in the Mediterranean Sea” as targets for a counter attack, a Libyan Government spokesman has warned.
Meanwhile following the UN giving the go ahead last night, it is widely believed that military strikes on Libya are imminent and could in fact begin within a matter of hours.

Up until now I have been against any form of military intervention in Libya other than to level the playing field for the rebel forces. However if Gaddafi has indeed threatened to attack passenger aircraft and shipping in the Mediterranean I hope the UN forces don’t stop until Gaddafi, his entire family and his security forces are dead.
