[edit] No casualties?

If Libya couldn't retrieve the ejected pilots from the sea, then don't we have two casulaties for Libya here? Their deaths were a direct result of being shot down by the US pilots (and not some incidental act) so I can hardly see how there were no casulaties. Osgoodelawyer 15:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

This needs clarification. Were the Libyan pilots left to die, or were they recovered? — Anty♥

US forces recovered no survivors, and the Libyans denied the loss so presumably no rescue was attempted.

"As part of its ongoing freedom of navigation activities in support of 12-mile (22.2 km) territorial waters practices..." Good phrasing, i just wonder how a reciprocal incident would be described.

Yes, i agree with the previous (unsigned) comment. Camelidus 00:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
