GODOLLO, Hungary: Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen called Friday for an emergency alliance meeting on Libya and said it was ready to act as “an enabler and coordinator” if member states take action.

“I have called for an emergency meeting in the North Atlantic Council today to discuss Libya,” Rasmussen wrote on his Twitter account, referring to the alliance's political decision-making body.

The situation in Libya is of great concern. Nato can act as an enabler and coordinator if and when member states will take action,” he wrote ahead of a meeting with EU defence ministers in Godollo, Hungary.
