NATO Plans to Escalate Libya Strikes on Gaddafi Facilities

HeadlineApr 27, 2011

In news from Libya, NATO is reportedly planning to step up its attacks by carrying out more air strikes on Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s palaces, headquarters and communications centers. On Monday, NATO forces bombed Gaddafi’s residential compound in what Libyan officials described as an assassination attempt. Liam Fox is Britain’s Defense Secretary.

British Defense Secretary Liam Fox: “In Libya, we discussed how the situation is progressing. We’ve seen some momentum gained in the last few days. We’re very grateful to the United States for making the armed Predators available, and for the difference that makes in helping us to be able to hit more ground targets. We’ve seen some progress made in Misurata, and it’s very clear that the regime is on the back foot.”
