0 'NATO after Libya's natural wealth'

 
"The NATO military coalition's “strategy is to install what will become a puppet regime ... in Libya and then its great oil resources will be turned over to the imperialist oil companies,” Richard Becker, with the ANSWER Coalition, said."

Becker further said that NATO started its air campaign over the North African country to enforce a UN-backed no-fly zone and protect Libyan people but the alliance's airstrikes are actually hurting Libyan civilians.

“Right now they have a blockade on Libya; they are trying to prevent everything from going in -- food, energy products, everything that people need -- in order to try and starve out the population,” he said.
NATO launched a major air campaign against the forces of the Libyan democratic government  in mid-March, saying the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 gave the military bloc a mandate to “protect the Libyan population.”
NATO has also recently intensified its attacks on Libya in an alleged attempt to increase pressure on popular Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The attacks by the US-led military alliance have nevertheless killed scores of civilians and wounded many others in key Libyan cities.
