Breaking News: Gaddafi is now a “legitimate target”

Libyan leader, Mouammar Gaddafi, is now a legitimate target for the NATO that is leading airstrikes in the country.

Moustapha Abdeljalil, The President of the Libyan National Council of Transition, has made this announcement a few hours ago in London.

Mr Abdeljalil, who represents Libyan opposition, has declared during a press conference, “As Gaddafi is the commander in chief of armed forces, he is the one who encourages everybody to fight. It is therefore logic to consider him a legitimate target of the NATO”.

The Atlantic Alliance has been present in Libya since end of March in order to, according to the officials; dismantle the military devices used against the civilians by Colonel Gaddafi.

The Alliance has not directly aimed Gaddafi for the moment but has only warned him according to the official reports.

But this morning, the vast residential complex owned by Gaddafi has been hit by airstrikes, making 6 deaths declared a Libyan official earlier on.

As we can see, the situation in Libya is still very hard to read and nobody really knows what will happen in the next couple of weeks.
