NATO planners are drawing up options for a possible NATO role in Libya, officials said yesterday.
NATO's governing body - the North Atlantic Council - has told its military staff to brainstorm ways to assist a future UN mission to stabilize the country.
"The council provided the NATO military authorities with a set of political guidelines for a possible future NATO supporting role in Libya ... in support of wider international efforts," spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said.
Planners are expected to come up with options in the next week to present to the alliance's political leadership.
NATO warplanes have flown nearly 20,000 sorties to Libya in the past five months, including about 7,500 attacks on Moammar Gadhafi's forces. But the campaign has exposed divisions in the alliance - only eight of its 28 members took part in the action.
