According the senior British commander allied forces have destroyed the Libyan
|
|
air force and are flying with impunity across its airspace, attacking ground
|
|
troops wherever they threaten the civilian population.
|
|
|
|
The claims come after 5 days of sustained air missions to enforce the UN no-
|
|
fly zone over Libya.
|
|
|
|
Air Vice-Marshall Bagwell was speaking from the Italian airbase, Gioia del
|
|
Colle from where most of the British Typhoons have flown their missions.
