NATO Helicopters Strike Libyan Targets for Second Night

British attack helicopters struck military targets in Libya for a second night, intensifying pressure in the campaign against Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi’s forces.

U.K. Apache helicopters from the carrier HMS Ocean destroyed a multiple rocket launcher near Brega, while Royal Air Force Tornado jets attacked a missile depot in Tripoli, according to a statement from U.K. military spokesman Major General Nick Pope. The previous night British and French attack helicopters had launched their first strikes.
