"Ministers from the NATO-backed coalition in Libya are meeting in Rome to seek ways of financing rebels in the north African country.

The meeting of Libya Contact Group will bring together foreign ministers from countries including France, Britain, the US, Italy and Qatar as well as representatives of the Arab League and the African Union.

Opposition fighters are desperate to buy food and medicine and shore up their administration....."
