The French helicopters took off from the helicopter transport ship Tonnerre in the Mediterranean, said Col. Thierry Burkhard. He said they struck 15 military vehicles and 5 military command buildings, without identifying the sites or their location. The head of the rebels' Transitional National Council, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, said the NATO attacks were in accordance of Resolution 1974, but emphasized that the Apaches launched outside Libya.
