Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Winnick (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 3 May 2011 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Libya
- Question
- Considering the killing of one of Gaddafi's sons and his very, very young grandchildren, is it not the case that, despite the denials that have been made, the policy of NATO is now first and foremost regime change, and secondly to kill Gaddafi himself?
- Answer
-
We want Gaddafi to go, and virtually the whole world wants him to go—let us be in no doubt about that—but the incident to which the hon. Gentleman refers was an attack on a command and control location. NATO has increased the number of air strikes against the command and control functions of the Libyan regime, which in our view is wholly legitimate within the implementation of resolution 1973, and such attacks will continue.
