• To protect the civilians, “no-fly” zone created above Libya where gov’t forces are prohibited
• NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organization intervenes
The U.S. (under Operation Odyssey Dawn), France, Canada, United Kingdom and 7 more countries have already sent fighter jets and aircrafts to combat Libyan air defenses
