President Obama has announced that the US will look to share the leading role in the UN assault on Libya as the third night of attacks approaches.
It is thought that NATO will play a co-ordinating role, although France and Turkey are opposed to the change.
On Monday, there were reports of further explosions near the compound of Colonel Gaddafi, which has already been hit by missiles. The leader’s forces are continuing to fight rebels in the city of Misrata. Many deaths are being reported, although there is no confirmation of figures yet.
Confusion reigns over who is taking the lead among UN nations, with Russia and China criticising the approach. What progress, if any, the military attack is making remains to be seen.
