World leaders launch military action in Libya

Top officials from the United States, Europe and the Arab world have launched immediate military action to protect civilians as Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi's forces attacked the heart of the country's rebel uprising.


French President Nicolas Sarkozy said after an emergency summit in Paris on Saturday that French warplanes are already targeting Kadafi's forces.

The 22 participants in Saturday's summit "agreed to put in place all the means necessary, in particular military" to make Kadafi respect a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday demanding a cease-fire, Sarkozy said.
