UAE sends 12 jets on Libya mission

United Arab Emirates will send 12 aircrafts to support the international coalition on a mission to protect civilian population from attacks by Gaddafi forces in Libya, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday.

"I spoke...to the crown prince of the UAE, who told me that the Emirates have decided to commit 12 planes to the coalition," Sarkozy said on the sidelines of a two-day European Union summit in Brussels.

The UAE is the second Arab country to sent aircraft to the coalition after Qatar, which has sent two fighter jets and two military transport planes to one of the airbases in the Mediterranean.

The UN Security Council imposed a no-fly zone over Libya on March 17, along with ordering "all necessary measures" to protect civilians from Muammar Gaddafi's attacks on rebel-held towns.

i guess this isn't a crusade anymore

Even in the earlier crusades, the hashaheen - from whom the word assassins derives - would betray and attack Muslims, while proclaiming to be Muslims themselves. Perhaps Putin is right in his guess, that the west is acting like they are on a crusade.
