Three Swedish fighter jets headed Saturday to Sardinia en route to taking part in NATO operations against the regime of Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi, a military spokesman said. The three JAS Gripen fighters, of a total nine aircraft pledged by Sweden, took off at 10.00am from the Ronneby base on Sweden's southern
coast, army spokesman Rickard Wissman told AFP. Another five Gripens and a C-130 Hercules usable for mid-air refueling were to leave early Sunday, he said.
