| Subject: US 'will hand over' Libya command Sun Mar 20, 2011 9:06 pm | |
| The US has said it expects to hand over control of military operations against Libya within days to either a UK-France coalition or Nato.
Meanwhile in Tripoli, journalists were shown a ruined building in Col Muammar Gaddafi's compound that officials said was hit by a missile late on Sunday.
The UK said it again launched Tomahawk missiles as part of a co-ordinated strike on Libyan air defences.
Earlier, the Pentagon said Libya's air defences were effectively degraded.
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said that while the US will continue to play a part in military operations against Col Gaddafi's forces, it "will not have the pre-eminent role".
