Photos of Sirte after NATO bombings

From a reader: "The governments of America, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Britain issued a joint statement Sunday condemning "barbaric" acts carried out by the Islamic State group in Libya."

 
"Residents of Muammar Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte are struggling to come to terms with the destruction and humiliation of their city, a former fishing village which once had aspirations to be the “capital of Africa”. During an eight-week siege, much of Sirte was reduced to rubble by NATO and US-backed rebels. Photos of Libya destruction below:"


"According to NATO’s own figures, Sirte has been bombed with 340 “key hits” from 25th August to 16th September."
