While NATO resumed his air campaign in Libya, global powers gathered in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday to discuss the crisis in the Arab African country.

Loud explosions rocked the Libyan capital Tripoli late Wednesday, with the first bombs striking an area near Gadhafi's compound and the second attack near a hotel where foreign journalists have been staying.
A Libyan government spokesman said NATO dropped more than 60 bombs throughout the day, killing 31 people and injuring dozens of others.

Foreign ministers from the 22 western and Arab nations gathered in the UAE capital for talks to plan a Libya after embattled leader Muammar Gaddafi is forced out.
The International Contact Group includes the U.S., France, Britain and Italy, as well as delegates from the United Nations, the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council and other regional bodies.

As the military, political and economic pressure mount on Gaddafi to step down, the Contact Group will discuss "what a post-Gaddafi Libya ought to look like," a senior US official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
Such a place should be a "unified state, [a] democratic state with a smooth transition", the official said.

A second official said the opposition Interim National Council (INC) has set up shadow ministries in its base in eastern Libya and named a civilian to head military, in preparation for assuming power when Gaddafi falls.

The International Contact Group is meeting in Abu Dhabi for their third time since the organization was launched in Qatar two months ago.
