Pro Ghaddafi forces remain without a large ammunition depot in the Libyan desert, as it was destroyed by British and American bombers, according to the Daily Express. 40 bunkers with artillery guns and ammunition were destroyed completely. Air defense systems near these targets had been destroyed days ago by Tomahawk missiles launched from a British submarine.
Libyan Foreign Minister has resigned and fled the country - he is now in London. At the same time, NATO has taken over the command of the military operations in Libya and allied planes resumed bombing.
The New York Times reported that CIA agents have been mobilized in Libya in "small groups" to contact the rebels and coordinate the coalition. In addition, Reuters writes that the president had secretly authorized arming the rebels. The White House has denied this information and added that they have not yet decided whether to provide weapons to the opposition or not. White House spokesman, Jay Carney refused to talk about any information problems or "intelligence matters".
