French Rafale fighters flying over Libya
2011-03-20
[Ennahar] Several French army fighter jets (Rafale) flew on Saturday over the "the entire territory of Libya" for reconnaissance missions, said French military sources.

The Rafale jets have left in the early afternoon of the base of Saint-Dizier in eastern La Belle France, where they are based, they added.

The same source added, these "reconnaissance missions" must last throughout the afternoon on Saturday and Rafales have encountered no difficulties after several hours of flight over the Libyan territory.

The Rafale is designed for bombing missions, reconnaissance and air defense.

These overflights took place while was held in Gay Paree an extraordinary international summit on Libya, which appears like a last diplomatic sequence with the likely trigger for air strikes against the regime of Muammar Qadaffy.
