The built up area, the beach, the airport, the weapons dump, or the oil storage. Which is it?

So no massacre of the missile equipped rebels.

Maybe the fact that Libya has Russian supplied S200 and S300 anti-aircraft missile defences has something to do with it.

The report talks of one aircraft and one bomb, must be a pretty large bomb to take out all four at once.

Your youtube report is labelled "Missile Strike near Bega" is this a Libyan missile or a "friendly fire" mistake from the US, the UK, the Dutch or the Egyptians, all of which are reported to have military forces in the area.

A few inconsistencies in the media reports Eh?
