The UN Security Council has turned down a Libyan request for a special meeting to discuss what it called "military aggression" by coalition forces. The council said it would wait for a briefing on Thursday by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on how the resolution that set up the no-fly zone is being implemented.

Am I the only one who thinks that leaving France in control of the airspace in #Libya, is as useful as having Kate McCann as a babysitter?

Just been reported a U.S. Warplane has crashed in Benghazi from mechanical failure. Pilot parachuted to safety, but plane will be blown up because of
sensitive details re equipment. Good job it didn"t happen in Libya , it crashed in rebel held territory.

More concern about the cost to Britain with the current state of the economy and what will be the endgame, will troops be used to enforce any peace
negotiations. From what I have seen on Television, Gaddafi still commands a lot of support from Libyans and they feel aggrieved at the invasion.

Badboy, yes that has been reported but not confirmed. Breaking News , Tanks fire shells in Misratah 42 rebels killed.I really don"t know how the
UN are going to proceed, Gaddafi still commands a lot of support and where is the support for the Rebels in Misratah?

Costs are estimated at £2 million a day public unease about possibility of long haul and possible ground troops being involved. Talk of more Arab
States getting involved but most have their own problems, the U.S. do not want to take control because Obama faces criticism from his own people.

Reuters: Resident says at least 10 people killed in bombardment of west Libya town of Zintan

Western warplanes attacked a military aircraft belonging to Muammar Gaddafi's armed forces that was flying towards the rebel-held city of Benghazi.

4:25pm

A US F-15 jet crashed in Libya late on Monday, reportedly due to a technical fault during a raid against anti-aircraft defences in the northeast. Both its crew ejected safely, the US Africa command said Tuesday.

Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons is onboard the USS Kearsarge, just off the Libyan coast, which was involved in the recovery of the crew of the F-15.

"We're told two aircraft were involved in the recovery operation," he said.

"The two pilots are in good condition. They are expected to be heading possibly to his ship which has excellent medical facilities on board.

"They were over flying northeast Libya on mission. It is not known exactly what they were engaged in."

3:20pm
Al Jazeera's correspondent, James Bays, who is 9km from Ajdabiya, said that rebel fighters were attacked 800m from where they are stationed.

"Fighters gathered up there and one of their vehicles was hit ... all fighters fled that position and are now where I am, which is basically the front line," he said.

"Their vehicle was hit by tank round or a missile. I don't think anyone was hurt.

No one really is making any progress. The oppositon are where they were 24 hours ago ... They are lightly armed volunteers ... a professional officer on the rebel side told me they're very brave but to the point of being suicidal.

"Gaddafi forces are much more heavily armed. The opposition have the numbers and they seem to have the momentum but on the other side the Gaddafi forces have the power."

I think the UN should send in observers to check out what is happening on the ground as Gaddafi"s spokesman suggested since there is no proof on
who is shooting who because the Press are kept far away .

Apart from when it's convenient for Gadaffi to invite the press round to 'his place'
