Canadian CF18 Hornet fighters arrive at the air base of Trapani Birgi in the southern island of Sicily on March 18, 2011. Italian air bases could play a key role in any military action against Libya but the prospect of Rome's first operation against its former colony since World War II carries high risks, experts said.
Crew members perform pre-flight preparations on Italian Tornado ECR fighters at the Trapani Birgi air base in the southern island of Sicily on March 18, 2011. Italy on March 18 offered the use of its air bases to impose a no-fly zone on Libya and said it could help take out Libyan radars and defence systems after the UN cleared the way for air strikes. Italy has 'granted the use of military bases on its national territory', the government's press office said after an emergency cabinet meeting in Rome.

A French Dassault Rafale combat aircraft, seen in this photo released by ECPAD (French Defence communication and audiovisual production agency), takes off from Saint-Dizier military base, eastern France, March 19, 2011, on a mission to overfly Libya. Western air forces, with Arab League approval, went into action in Libya on Saturday to curb attacks by Muammar Gaddafi's forces on the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said.
A NATO AWACS prepares to land at the Birgi NATO Airbase in Trapani in the southern Italian island of Sicily March 19, 2011. Military action authorised by the United Nations against Libyan forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi could take place under NATO command or under a coalition of the willing led by France and Britain. NATO said its ambassadors would meet to discuss their response, while analysts expect an initial strike would target Libya's military aircraft, air force bases and communication systems.

Italian air bases could play a key role in any military action against Libya but the prospect of Rome's first operation against its former colony since World War II carries high risks, experts said. Italy offered use of seven air bases to third countries to impose a no-fly zone on Libya, marking the latest step in a gradual escalation of initially prudent Italian diplomacy following the uprising in Libya.

MEDITERRANEAN SEA (March. 19, 2011) The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) launches a Tomahawk missile in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn on March 19, 2011.

Joint Task Force Odyssey Dawn is the U.S. Africa Command task force established to provide operational and tactical command and control of U.S. military forces supporting the international response to the unrest in Libya and enforcement of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1973.
