British warplanes have bombed a large bunker in Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte. British officials said Tornado jets carried out the strike. There is no indication yet that Gaddafi was in Sirte or in the bunker itself at the time of the attack. The bombing comes as reports emerge that British special forces have been on the ground for several weeks helping rebel fighters launch their attack on Tripoli. On Thursday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called for NATO to keep fighting in Libya.
Ahmet Davutoglu: It is important for NATO to sustain its operation until an environment ensuring physical safety of people prevails. We should redouble our efforts in extending political, economic, financial and administrative support to the NTC.”
