British jets strike Gaddafi hometown bunker

British Tornado jets fired cruise missiles overnight at a headquarters in deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's home town of Sirte, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Friday.

"At around midnight, a formation of Tornado GR4s ... fired a salvo of Storm Shadow precision guided missiles against a large headquarters bunker in Sirte," it added in a statement. The Tornadoes took off from RAF Marham in Norfolk, eastern England, it added. (Reuters)
