An ex-commander of the Libyan dictator says Muammar Gaddafi would have no ammunition to use against revolutionaries if NATO were to target military supply routes from Algeria and Chad.
"The main disadvantage to the NATO air campaign is that they (NATO) are not paying attention to the Algerian border which is supplying Gaddafi forces [with arms],” colonel Hamed Al-Hassi, the first commander to defect from Gaddafi's military, told Press TV in an exclusive interview.
“Also the border with Chad, if NATO covered this area, Gaddafi would have no supplies and his war would end very soon,” he added.
Al-Hassi also criticized United Nations for its inaction regarding military aid shipment to Libya by its neighboring countries.
NATO launched a major air campaign against the forces of the Libyan regime 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 embattled Libyan ruler. The attacks by the US-led military alliance has nevertheless killed scores of civilians and wounded many others in key Libyan cities.
