The Pentagon has announced it conducted an airstrike in Libya
targeting a mid-level Al-Qaeda-associated militant, but could not be
completely sure that it succeeded, as officials are still “assessing
the results” of the strike.
“Last night, the US military conducted a counterterrorism strike
against an Al-Qaeda-associated terrorist in Libya. We are assessing
the results of the operation and will provide additional information
as and when appropriate,” a Pentagon spokesman, Colonel Steve
Warren, said.
Warren could not specify where exactly the strike took place in
Libya, and it was not immediately known if it was carried out by a
drone or manned aircraft.
Warren also emphasized that there had been no US boots on the ground
assisting the operation, Reuters reports.
