Canada returned with their bob load yesterday after deciding the target in Libya was too near civilians. Today they dropped their bomb load on target.
OTTAWA - Canadian CF-18s have bombed a Libyan ammunition depot.
The air force says four of the jet fighters, supported by two air-to-air refuelling aircraft, conducted two separate bombing runs last night and this morning.
The first attack took place overnight near Misurata, Libya's third-largest city, located east of Tripoli.
Maj.-Gen. Tom Lawson, the deputy chief of air staff, told an Ottawa briefing that four laser-guided bombs were dropped on the depot.
He had no information on where the second attack place or what kind of damage it may have inflicted.
They are the first attacks by Canadian aircraft in the UN-sponsored campaign to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya.
Sadly our Opposition Parties have decided to vote for an election CANADA does need an election at this time in History. Fighting on two fronts, patrolling for Somali Pirates as well as our economic recovery. All of these issues should not be hampered by an election. Our Military needs a Prime Minister and Defense Minister who are aware of Global Issues.
I for one certainly hope we do not have a multi million dollar election
Please show support for our Troops and their families during these troubling times.
Despite the triumverate of Iggy, taliban Jack and Gilles life and work goes on. The third annual Wear Red Road Race is scheduled next month please see the PDF for full details.
