He says  each of the Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft will remain over the  Mediterranean for eight hours before being replaced by another plane. NATO has 17 E-3s. Several planes are currently operating over  Afghanistan. The entire fleet is registered in Luxembourg, a country  without an air force. NATO decided Monday to provide the surveillance. Orders to the E-3  squadron went out on Tuesday, said the official who could not be  identified under standing rules. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below. BRUSSELS (AP) — The Libyan government, trying to put down an uprising  against leader Moammar Gadhafi, is mounting a diplomatic press to stave  off tough action by the European Union and NATO. Mohamed Tahir Siala, a Libyan envoy, met Thursday with two Greek  foreign ministry officials. Similar talks were held in Lisbon on  Wednesday with Portugal’s Foreign Minister Luis Amado. The meetings come as European leaders begin two days of emergency  talks about Libya, which appears to be descending into civil war. NATO defense ministers began a two-day meeting in Brussels, and the  alliance extended its coverage of Libya’s coastal area by keeping an  airborne warning and control plane on patrol 24 hours a day. EU foreign ministers were also meeting, and EU heads of government have an emergency summit set for Friday. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110310/ap_on_re_eu/libya_diplomacy_2" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110310/ap_on_re_eu/libya_diplomacy_2" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110310/ap_on_re_eu/libya_diplomacy_2" target="_blank">AP</a></blockquote>
