| BRUSSELS — Overcoming internal squabbles, NATO prepared on Friday to assume leadership from the United States of the military campaign against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s forces, senior NATO officials said, while the allied effort won rare military commitments in the Arab world when a Qatari fighter jet flew on patrol with the Western allies and the United Arab Emirates said it would send warplanes to join them. Meeting late Thursday night, NATO agreed that it would not only take over command and control of the no-fly zone, but also of the effort to protect civilians through aggressive coalition airstrikes on Colonel Qaddafi’s troops on the ground, the officials said. Details of the second part of the operation will be worked out in a formal military planning document over the next couple of days, the officials said, but all NATO countries took the political decision that the alliance would command and coordinate the entire military campaign.

Non-NATO members participating in the operation would have a seat and a voice, on the model of the operation in Afghanistan, where some 20 other nations participate in the NATO-led war. There will be a meeting of coalition foreignministers on Tuesday in London, as the French and British wanted, the officials said. That meeting and consequent meetings will deal with the larger political campaign, including sanctions and other measures designed to put more pressure on Colonel Qaddafi to quit. It will also have representation from the United Nations, the Arab League and the African Union. But that meeting of what the British are calling "the contact group” will not be running the military side of the operation, the officials said. France, which had opposed NATO running the war, would still like a smaller group of countries to operate as a kind of “political guidance”’ or contact group for the larger Libyan operation. That idea remains unresolved. But Paris has agreed that NATO will command and control all parts of the military campaign in Libya, the officials said.
