NATO airstrikes sink 8 Gadhafi warships

Government official says attacks could discourage ships from using Tripoli's port, reducing imports and driving up the cost of basic goods


TRIPOLI, Libya — NATO aircraft sank eight warships belonging to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces in overnight attacks, the alliance said Friday.

The ships were sunk in coordinated attacks on the ports of Tripoli, Al Khums and Sirte, an alliance statement said.
