European Union foreign ministers on Monday called on the bloc to take a tough line with Libya, with Luxembourg's foreign minister saying the bloc could not allow itself to be 'blackmailed by such a regime'.
'Snipers have been sent in to shoot people who were attending a funeral or expressing their free opinion that they want more voice in the running of the country ... It cannot be that we have to cooperate with a regime that shoots its own people,' said Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn.
'We all know Gaddafi, and you should not put anything past Gaddafi. Anything can happen and I understand fully the concerns of countries such as Italy and Malta,' Finnish Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb said.
