NATO destroys one more army command and control structure of Gaddafi regime
 (KUNA) -- NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... warplanes in the last 24 hours destroyed one command and control building of pro-Qadaffy forces near the town of Gharyan, and one radar and one surface-to-air missile launcher near Tripoli. A NATO statement Saturday said that in the vicinity of Brega one tank, five armoured fighting vehicles, one multiple rocket launcher, and seven armed vehicles were destroyed. Moreover, in the vicinity of Dur at Turkiyah one military storage facility, and near Misrata one tank, and three armed vehicles, and near Waddan one military storage facility were also destroyed. Since the beginning of the NATO operation in Libya on 31 March NATO planes have carried out a total of 15,308 sorties, including 5,767 strike sorties. Posted by: Fred 2011-07-18 |
