NATO says its strikes destroy 25 Gaddafi tanks
The commander of NATO's operation over Libya says alliance airstrikes have destroyed 25 of the Libyan regime's tanks near the cities of Misrata and Ajdabiya. Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard says the strikes were necessary because civilians were being shelled by forces loyal to Moammar Gaddafi's regime.
Bouchard said Sunday, "To help protect these civilians we continue to strike these forces hard, with 11 tanks destroyed today as they approached Ajdabiya and 14 tanks destroyed earlier this morning in the outskirts of Misrata." (AFP)
