Canada has carried out its first attacks in the UN-sponsored campaign to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya, dropping four laser-guided bombs on an ammunition depot.
Major-General Tom Lawson, the deputy chief of air force staff, said that four CF-18 jet fighters, supported by two air-to-air refuelling aircraft, conducted two separate bombing runs on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
The first attack took place overnight near Misurata, Libya's third-largest city, located east of Tripoli.
He had no information on where the second attack place or what kind of damage it may have inflicted.
