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.
