NATO vows to enforce Libya embargo "robustly"


NATO will enforce the arms and mercenaries blockade on Libya "robustly," with force if needed, and hopes more nations will join those who have committed ships, planes and submarines, the operation head said on Thursday.

"We will ensure the free flow of legitimate shipping which the people of Libya need," Vice Admiral Rinaldo Veri, head of Operation Unified Protector, told a news conference at NATO's Southern Europe headquarters in Naples.
