Foreign ministers from the League of Arab nations are holding an extraordinary meeting Saturday in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, to find a solution to the crisis in Libya, sources close to the organization said.
The meeting, requested by several Arab countries, will discuss the no-fly zone slammed on Libya, Hicham Youssef, chief of staff for the secretary-general of the League, Amr Moussa, told the press on Friday. The Arab League is against any foreign military intervention in Libya.
