A Times Online report said the counteroffensive launched by the Gaddafi regime against revolutionary forces is increasing pressure on the West to help stop the fighting in the North African country. Several Western countries have been accused of turning a blind eye to the deadly crackdown in Libya in order to protect their economic interests. Libya currently provides about 20 percent of Italy's oil imports. It has developed cordial relations with Britain, France and the United States as well. The criticism comes as heavy battles continue between anti-government forces and regime troops near the Libyan capital Tripoli as Gaddafi clings on to power. |
