  The UN Security Council has voted to authorise a no-fly zone over Libya and approved a resolution permitting "all necessary measures" - code for military action - to protect civilians from Moamar Gaddafi's forces.
  
  A no-fly zone could protect rebel-held areas from air strikes by government forces and prevent the regime from bringing in more weapons and mercenaries from outside the country.
  
  The special cabinet are meeting later today to discuss the detail.No use of ground troops is envisaged. Pity they scrapped the Harrier squadrons or will they bring them out of mothballs like they've done with the Nimrods?. A lack of foresight methinks. It's important that the UK play a leading military role on the world stage and so long as the 'rebels win' it should help with future exports and construction contracts with Libya plus,hopefully, secure the oil fields to help stabilise the price of crude oil per barrel.
