The Pentagon said the two ISIS training camps housed fighters who had escaped their former stronghold in Sirte, on Libya’s central coast. It added that militants there were planning attacks in Europe.

…Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said the precision strikes 45 kilometers southwest of Sirte were part of a mission that lasted more than 30 hours. As NPR’s Philip Ewing reports, the Pentagon picked stealth bombers that took off from Missouri “as opposed to American units already in Europe — because they had so many targets to hit, and wanted to strike them all at once.”
