(MENAFN) A US air strike on Libya has killed more than 80 rebels from so-called Islamic State (IS), said outgoing US Defence Secretary Ash Carter.
In detail, the mission, which dropped around 100 bombs on Wednesday, is thought to be the last signed by President Barack Obama as he prepares to leave office.
Mr Carter said those targeted were "actively planning" attacks in Europe.
President-elect Donald Trump takes over as the US's new commander-in-chief on Friday.
