Report: France not planning to start arming rebels

France does not plan to start arming opposition rebels in Libya although it does not oppose others doing so, a presidential source said on Wednesday. 

"We are not doing it. And nor are the British as far as I know...It's a decision that's been taken but that does not mean we oppose those that do," the source said. "It doesn't seem necessary today because the national transition council is not having problems finding the weapons they need and friends to show them how to use them." (Reuters)
