UNITED NATIONS - The UN Security Council Thursday cleared the way for air strikes to halt Moamer Kadhafi's offensive against embattled rebel forces in Libya, with the first bombing raids possible within hours.

It approved a resolution permitting "all necessary measures" to impose a no-fly zone, protect civilian areas and impose a ceasefire on Kadhafi's military.

The vote passed 10-0 with five abstentions in the 15 member council. Permament members China and Russia were among those abstaining, but did not use their veto power.
