US President Barack Obama National Security Advisor Tom Donilon decaled that the seize fire decision announced by the Gaddafi regime is not implemented, and was immediately violated by the Libyan president's regime.
Donilon stressed that the US will do its best to impose respect of UN Security Council resolution 1973.
The resolution 1973 was adopted, and then the international coalition between the US, France, and Britain, launched its military interference in Libya. The US and French warplanes started bombarding buildings and areas saying they're Muammar Gaddafi's leadership headquarters.
According to a Military official in the international coalition, AFP (Agence France Press) reported that abiding by resolution 1973; the international coalition forces will keep on targeting sites which they say are a threat to the Libyan people if exploited by Muammar Gaddafi's regime and forces.
On another level, the same news agency mentioned that an Italian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson announced that Italy has frozen around six to seven billion Euros of Muammar Gaddafi's assets, in accordance with UNSC resolution 1973 adopted in March 17.
This comes at the time when the European countries reached a primary agreement over new sanctions imposed against 11 figures, among which are the members of the Libyan government.
It is also expected that the aforementioned sanctions, including freezing assets and preventing visa permits, will be approved Monday by the 27 European Union member states.
The international coalition are keen to implement to the UNSC resolution 1973, where the air forces directly launched their strikes, not only targeting buildings and Gaddafi annexed territories, but also led to the death of many innocent Libyan civilians.
On this level, Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa condemned the international coalition forces' attack on Libya, saying this is different to the aim of imposing a no-fly zone, which sought to "protect civilians and not target new ones".
Moussa added that now there are talks to hold an emergency meeting for Arab Foreign Minister to discuss developments on the Arab region, and especially in Libya.
Amr Moussa also affirmed that the no-fly zone was requested to protect the Libyan civilians and avoid any developments. Moussa referred to that he requested official reports to explain the aerial and naval attacks which led to the death and injury of many Libyan civilians.
After the international forces' assaults, AFP reported that at least 48 people were killed, while some 150 were wounded, mainly women and children, due to the French warplane strikes on a vehicle believed to be for pro-Gaddafi forces.
On his part, after the international coalition's cruise missiles, Gaddafi announced that the Mediterranean Sea has turned into a "real battlefield".
The international coalition's intervention is considered to be the biggest in the Arab world since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
