United States still plans to transfer control of the military mission in Libya

United States still plans to transfer control of the military mission in Libya to an allied coalition in days with NATO playing a key role, a senior White House official said on Wednesday.

A top aide to President Barack Obama, told reporters on Obama's flight home from El Salvador, "I think this is going to be a matter of days in which you see a movement toward the transition with regard to command and control."

He said allies were "working through the final issues on command and control" and NATO will play a key role but the exact structure is still under discussion. (Reporting by Alister Bull, Editing by Sandra Maler)
