AFP - The United States and it's allies are considering supplying weapons to the Libyan oppostion, the Washngton Post newspaper has reported.
It added, citing unnamed US and European officials, that the Obama administration believed the UN resolution that authorised international intervention in Libya has the "flexibility" to allow such assistance.
According to the newspaper, Gene Cretz, the recently withdrawn US ambassador to Libya, said administration officials were having "the full gamut" of discussions on "potential assistance we might offer, both on the non-lethal and the lethal side".
But no decisions had been made, the paper noted.
