Arab FMs ask Arabsat to block Libya''s Jamahiriya TV channel

CAIRO, May 15 (KUNA) -- The Arab foreign ministers Sunday evening asked the Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat) to block the transmission of Jamahiriya Satellite Channel and any other channel loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The request is based on the UN Security Council resolution 1973 imposing a no-fly zone coupled with sanctions on the Libyan regime, the ministers said at the end of their extraordinary meeting at the headquarters of the Arab League here.
The ministers and chief delegates discussed the latest developments of the conflict in Libya and asked the League's Secretariate to oversee, and report on, the enforcement of their decision. (end) sm.mfm.gb KUNA 152320 May 11NNNN
