Libya: British jets bomb Gaddafi's hometown

British warplanes have bombed a bunker in Moamer Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, as rebel fighters grouped for another push on one of the last major holdouts east of Tripoli, and attempted to consolidate their grip on the capital.

"At around midnight, a formation of Tornado GR4s... fired a salvo of Storm Shadow precision-guided missiles against a large headquarters bunker in Gaddafi's home town of Sirte," the defence ministry said in London.

Sirte remains one of the few remaining pockets of forces loyal to Gaddafi, who still remains at large despite a $1.7 million price on his head.
