DOHA, Sept 23 (Reuters) – Bahrain and other Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) members sent planes to attack a number of
“terrorist” sites, the Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) General
Headquarters said on Tuesday, state news agency BNA reported.
“A group of fighter jets from the Royal Bahrain Air Force
(RBAF) carried out earlier this morning, along with the air
forces of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), allied and
friendly countries, air strikes against a number of selected
targets … and destroyed them,” the agency said, quoting a
military statement. It did not specify the targets.
The statement was the first comment from a GCC state since
the United States launched air and missile strikes in Syria for
the first time on Tuesday, killing dozens of Islamic State
fighters.
