Arab League Expresses 'Full Solidarity' with Libya Rebel Govt.
Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi declared on Monday his "full solidarity" with the Libyan rebel government as its fighters closed in on Moammar Ghadafi's Tripoli compound.
Arabi, in a statement expressed "his full solidarity with the ongoing efforts by the National Transitional Council" and "wished success for the council in leading a new era and preserving Libya's regional integrity and its sovereignty and independence."
The pan-Arab Cairo-based organization’s call for a Libyan no-fly zone in March opened the way for NATO air strikes that tipped the balance in the rebels' favor.
