NATO's Mission in Libya Ends October 31
2011-10-23
[Tripoli Post] NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
's operations in Libya are very close to completion and it has taken a preliminary decision to end Operation Unified Protector, OUP, at the end of this month, the alliance's secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at the end of the meeting of the North Atlantic Council with the OUP partners to assess the situation in Libya.

In his statement at a presser at the NATO headquarter in Brussels, Friday evening, Mr Rasmussen went on to say that a formal decision is to be taken early next week. In the meantime he will continue consultations with the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
and Libya's National Transitional Council about NATO' involvement.

"We agreed that NATO will wind down the operation, during which period - that means until the 31st of October - NATO would monitor the situation and retain the capacity to respond to threats to civilians if needed," he said.

#1  It ends Oct. 31? Fitting, seeing as Muammar Qaddafi was an un-credited producer of the classic horror movie "Halloween".
