NATO, EU begin talks on Libya no-fly zone

NATO and the European Union begin two-day talks in Brussels on Thursday over the situation in Libya, where battles between protesters and forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi have already claimed several thousand lives.

The main issue on the agenda is expected to be the possible imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent Gaddafi from using warplanes against insurgents, who have been fighting against government troops and Gaddafi loyalists for their strongholds in the country's east.

Analysts say it is unlikely that a positive decision on a no-fly zone will be taken during the upcoming talks.
