Latest: CNN REPORTS: "U.S. Launches Its First Missiles Against Gadhafi’s Forces"

U.S. Launches Its First Missiles Against Gadhafi’s Forces

The Pentagon says the United States has just launched a missile strike on Libyan Air Defenses.

From CNN: “The U.S. military has launched its first missiles in Libya against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in the western part of the country”, a senior Defense Department official said Saturday.

“U.S. Tomahawk missiles landed in the area around Tripoli and Misrata”, the official said, adding that the action was taken after Gadhafi failed to comply with a cease-fire.


In an audio statement during a visit to Brazil, U.S. President Barack Obama said the United States will not deploy any U.S. troops on the ground on Libya.“We are acting as part of a broad coalition,” Obama said, “We are acting on the interests of the U.S. and the world.”

Also on Saturday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that British forces are in action over Libya.
