LONDON, (Reuters) – British Prime Minister David Cameron and other European leaders agreed the United Nations and European Union should take urgent action to deal with the Libyan crisis, including tough sanctions, Britain said today.
Cameron’s office said he had spoken separately to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan in the last 24 hours about Libya.
“There was clear agreement that the actions of the Libyan regime were totally unacceptable and that brutality and intimidation would not be tolerated,” a spokesman for Cameron said.
“He (Cameron) agreed with counterparts that urgent action was needed through the EU and U.N., including a tough sanctions package targeting the regime directly,” he said.
