Qatar planes taking positions near Libya: Admiral Mike Mullen

A top US military officer on Sunday said aircraft from Qatar were moving into position near Libya to participate in the Western military operation that has effectively established a no-flying zone.

"There are forces, airplanes in particular from Qatar, that are moving into position as we speak, into theater. There are other countries who have committed, although I'd rather have them publicly announce that commitment," Admiral Mike Mullen he said in an interview with CBS's Face the Nation programme.
