Libya airstrikes continue – British public unsupportive

Britain has continued to play its part in the airstrikes against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, despite polls showing that the public are not very happy – only 35% say they support the military action. 

Missiles exploded mainly near the leader’s compound in Tripoli for the third consecutive night. Libyan officials claimed that many civilians were being killed and that hospitals were filling up, but provided no evidence of this. 

Meanwhile, Gaddafi’s men continue to fight with civilians, despite the second ceasefire being called. 

The UN campaign centres on “protecting civilians”, although it is also clear that they want to oust Gaddafi from power.
