Morning Star.png Italian Minister Rejects US Call for Military Action in Libya The Morning Star, London, 10 March 2016 Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni rejected US calls for military intervention in Libya against Islamic State (Isis) yesterday. He told the Senate that Italy would defend itself from "the real threat" from Isis, but with "with proportionate actions." Mr Gentiloni warned: "Military action is not a solution. At times, it can aggravate the problem." The day before, US Africa Command commander General David Rodriguez said Libya had become a "failed state" since the Nato-backed 2011 overthrow of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime. He told the Senate armed services committee that the lack of a unified government meant it would take "10 years or so" for Libya to achieve long-term stability. Tunisian security forces killed another seven militants who were trying to cross the border from Libya, bringing the total number of gunmen killed in two days to 43. Twelve troops and police and seven civilians were killed in clashes on Monday and Tuesday.
