Gaddafi in the crosshairs

The arrest warrant is a carte blanche for the secret plan to get rid of Gaddafi once and for all, writes the liberal-conservative daily Corriere della Sera: "The warrant is an accessory in the hunt for the dictator, who is being pursued with bombs and secret liquidation plans. ... There are rumours that an English-French ground operation involving 130 men is underway with the mission 'shoot and forget'. ... The safari in North Africa has been going on for weeks, and the quarry is injured but tough. ... Gaddafi's death could avoid future difficulties in the region. The rebels are closing in on the areas where Gaddafi still has supporters - places where the rebels are not always seen as liberators. The danger of acts of revenge and violence among the people is great. The removal of the despot would make such a traumatic transition less likely. Now that Gaddafi is a wanted man for crimes against humanity, the allies have one more justification for burying this campaign of a thousand doubts."
