Coalition launches attacks from air and sea on Libya

[blazee]

The UK, the US and France have begun attacking Libya as enforcement of the UN-mandated no-fly zone gets under way.

More than 110 missiles have been fired by the UK and US, officials at the Pentagon say.

Earlier, forces loyal to Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi attacked the rebel stronghold of Benghazi despite declaring a ceasefire a day earlier.

Western planes bombed targets in the capital, Tripoli, said the AFP news agency, quoting witnesses and state TV.

A French plane fired the first shots at 1645 GMT, destroying Libyan military vehicles, according to a military spokesman.

It's called cynicism and satire.

It's a joke about the French and the English, and their historical attempts at war with people they don't get along with.

I just hope the leader of Libya gets what he deserves.

They keep talking about the predator UAVs entering the fight. I don't know, must be a slow news day. Is this news worthy?
