France's foreign minister says several Arab countries have pledged to take part in possible military action in Libya.
Alain Juppe says France and Britain have sought targeted air strikes for two weeks. He cites two conditions: a mandate for such force from the U.N. Security Council and "effective" participation by Arab states.
Juppe wrote on his blog Wednesday that the second point was being fulfilled: "Several Arab countries assured us that they will participate." He didn't elaborate.
He said it "isn't enough" for countries to say Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi must quit and called for them to help opponents of his "dictatorship."
Supporters of a no-fly zone over Libya introduced a U.N. resolution Tuesday aimed at stopping Gadhafi's planes from bombing civilians.
