Qatar to join military operation against Libya

Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani announced that his nation will take part in the military operation against Libya. He explained that the Arab League has demanded the UN, not the West, to intervene in Libya, which is why "there must be an Arab nation which will get involved to stop the bloodshed."

Al Thani noted in an interview with Al Jazeera that the Qatari military does not intend to harm neither the Libyan people nor Muammar Gaddafi or his family. "The massacre has been taking place for weeks, and we intend to stop the bloodshed now," he said. "If someone has another idea or solution, he should present it before us." (Roee Nahmias)
