British military chief urges wider targeting in Libya

“The vice is closing on Gaddafi,but we need to increase the pressure further through more intense military action,” he told the Sunday Telegraph.

“We now have to tighten the vice to demonstrate to Gaddafi that the game is up and he must go.”

The general said he wanted NATO member states to support the targeting of Gaddafi’s regime,not just targets which pose an immediate threat to civilians,such as tanks and artillery.
