Coalition hits more Libyan targets, mission transfer to NATO underway

　　The international coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya hit more targets in the Northern African country, while the United States is in the process of transferring control of the Libyan mission to NATO.

　　Bill Gortney, director of the U.S. Joint Staff, told a Pentagon briefing

　　The coalition fired 16 more Tomahawk cruise missiles during the past 24 hours, while planes continued to fly sorties over Libya, and two Qatar jets flew their first mission with two French jets.

　　He said the United States is in the process of transferring control of the mission to the coalition. He said NATO has already taken over the arms embargo at sea and no-fly zone patrol in the air. But the protection of civilian population aspect of the mission is still in U.S. hands, and the transfer time and details are still to be determined.
