Western allies unleashed a ferocious series of air and missile strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's military as they mounted the biggest intervention in the Arab world since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
A Pentagon spokesman said that over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles had been fired from both US and British ships and submarines in the Mediterranean, striking more than 20 integrated air defence systems and other defence facilities on the mainland.
