U.S. Considering Training Libyan Forces With NATO Allies

The U.S. and NATO allies will consider whether to train Libya’s armed forces at a meeting of alliance defense ministers in Brussels tomorrow, according to two U.S. defense officials.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization ministers, who are also discussing the alliance’s future role in Afghanistan, added Libya to their agenda after Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zaidan visited NATO a week ago as the country sought assistance, said the officials, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.
