In the first show of international aid for the rebels in Libya, French warplanes destroyed four Libyan tanks. A dozen of french mirage and rafale jets were sent in to enforce the no fly zone. "Our planes are already preventing air attacks on the city of Benghazi," said French president Nicholas Sarkozy. Meanwhile, the Libyan army pulverizes Benghazi with artillery strikes all over the city. "Today in Benghazi there will be a catastrophe if the international community does not implement the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council," said the head of the rebel National Libyan Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil. The US and Britain have also launched missiles on important Libyan army defense sites.
