In a statement made this afternoon the leader of the armed forces, Major General Suleiman Obeidi, said no Libyan-based force had the technology nor the capacity to carry out the attacks. Obeidi said the missiles, one of which had been identified as a US made Mark 83 general purpose bomb, could only have been dropped using in-flight targeting technology, unavailable to the Libyan Airforce. He added that the weapons had been used with extreme precision and had hit only the Grad missiles and howitzers they were intended to destroy. Obeidi explained similarly that there was no Libyan airforce based inside the country with the necessary range to carry out the bombings over Tripoli. He said aircraft travelling from the east to Tripoli would have been forced to refuel in mid-air, a feat which was again beyond the capabilities of Libyan airforce either during the time of the former regime or now.[/quote] France has [url=https://twitter.com/francediplo_EN/status/501406717687496704]denied involvement[/url], and US and Egyptian security officials [url=http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/18/us-libya-security-idUSKBN0GI03Z20140818]told Reuters[/url] they didn't do it, but the Libyan chief of staff says there are no planes/bombs in Libya that could do this

Alien ships with technology to disguise themselves as jets.

I'm going to assume Israel.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;45729942]I'm going to assume Israel.[/QUOTE] that's kind of a problem though like we ALL would assume Israel. Israel would likely own up to it with some bullshit excuse, but at least they'd say "hey we did it we're 'protecting' our people from hamas!" someone else could very well pull a shit stunt just to keep the wasp nest buzzing at Israel because they know we all 'know' Israel's the 'only' culprit

If the jets were striking rebel targets then I couldn't care less who did it tbh.

I'm going to blame the IS so I can hate them more.

God fucking damnit, when I read "Tripoli hit by air strikes" I thought it was my home city, Tripoli, [B]Lebanon[/B], which where most of my family lives, nearly had a heart attack.

Operation Dignity have the best motive, but if they did it then they must have some serious air power in the west that we didn't know about

Wasn't me.

Probably a covert airstrike by the US that's on the 'this never happened' list. I wouldn't be surprised. And I'm not just saying that because a US bomb was confirmed to have been used, but also the accuracy. They hit [i]only what they needed to hit[/i]. Precision like that, with bombs? I'm sorry but nobody in the mid east has pilots that well trained except maybe Israel, and if Israel did it they'd be trumpeting it off the highest cliffs to try to offset their currently shit PR.

My money is on North Korea

I think it was those pesky Luxembourgians

Is there no way to tell from the shells or something?

[QUOTE=Baron von Hax;45732729]Is there no way to tell from the shells or something?[/QUOTE] A lot of Middle Eastern military hardware is bought from other countries, so that wouldn't help too much.

[QUOTE=Pilot1215;45730468]Wasn't me.[/QUOTE] To everyone who disagreed, I'm totally not scrambling unmarked jets to your location... :) Ok, but on a serious note, I will add, I think Israel has the capability to do something like this, and they have done long range strikes before. It could be a covert strike by the US, that we won't admit to for a few years, or it could be some other country. Maybe just maybe it really was a Libyan faction who had aircraft and the main government doesn't want to admit it. Although, I doubt the bomb would be US in origin, which adds to the questions.

I bet it was the Ten Rings

I have to feel sorry for a country's military when they have to admit they don't have the capability to bomb their own capital.

Hifter.

Filthy Kolechians are STILL trying to stir things up.
