NATO warplanes step up attacks on Libya

NATO has escalated its war against Libya, widening air strikes to hit civilian government buildings and economic infrastructure. Early Tuesday, bombs and missiles once again pounded the capital of Tripoli, destroying buildings near the compound of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The repeated attacks on the area have all the earmarks of an attempt to bring about “regime change” by assassinating the Libyan leader.

British air and naval forces have taken the lead in the latest round of aggression, with Tornado warplanes carrying out air raids and the submarine HMS Triumph firing Tomahawk missiles at the Libyan capital and other cities...

According to figures released May 17 by NATO’s Allied Joint Forces Command, based in Naples, Italy, the Western alliance’s warplanes have carried out nearly 7,000 sorties since March 31, more than 2,700 of them involving air strikes.

And, "infrastructure". Flying sewers? Flying bridges? Flying highways?

Still committing war crimes. The No Fly Zone permits them to prevent attacks on civilian populations.
