U.S. Seeks To Arm Libya

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has sought to help Libya's military
regain control over the North African state.
Officials said the U.S. military and Defense Department have been
drafting plans to provide weapons and training to Tripoli. They said the
military assistance was required to help the new interim government gain
control over large parts of the country now held by Al Qaida-aligned
militias.
