BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - French reconnaissance planes flew over Libya on Saturday, in the first sign that international air strikes may be imminent while Muammar Gaddafi's forces tried to push into the rebel-held city of Benghazi."There are French reconnaissance aircraft over Libya," a French military source told Reuters at 2:15 p.m. British time.
The advance by Gaddafi's troops into Libya's second city of 670,000 people appeared to be an attempt to pre-empt Western air strikes which diplomats say will come after an international meeting currently underway in Paris.
