Western and Arab leaders Wednesday agreed to provide ragtag Libyan rebels with "material support" and funds, possibly from Col. Moammar Gadhafi's frozen foreign bank accounts, as they escalated international pressure on the Libyan dictator to relinquish power.
They did not specify the type of material support they planned to offer, but several officials meeting in the Gulf nation of Qatar said some countries individually are considering arming the rebels.

State-owned enterprises began to operate indirectly through subordinate legal persons that operate like privately held multinational corporations. In this new form, sovereigns are becoming a more significant presence in global markets, as owners as well as investors.
