In international news, NATO
announced yesterday that it’s taking over the reins in Libya. The organization will assume control of all aerial operations, including ground attacks, from the United States-led coalition.
NATO ambassadors approved the extended plan as a means to protect civilians from attacks by Moammar Gadhafi’s forces. The international airstrikes have allowed the rebels to regain ground virtually unopposed as they continue their push towards the capital city of Tripoli.
