NATO is intensifying airstrikes against Muammar Qaddafi’s forces and selecting targets closer to the Libyan leader in an effort to break a military stalemate between loyalists and rebels, military officials said.
U.K. Defense Secretary Liam Fox said this week’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization strike that flattened part of Qaddafi’s main compound in Tripoli was meant to “increase the psychological pressure” on the Libyan dictator. He said the target was legitimate as part of the military command.
