Women run as two F-15 jet fighters are seen in background at the NATO air base at Aviano, Italy, on Tuesday. Fighter jets are participating in operations over Libya, where Moammar Gadhafi's forces shelled rebels regrouping outside a strategic eastern city on Tuesday. His snipers and tanks controlled the streets of the last opposition-held city in the west, signaling a prolonged battle ahead.
An American military jet flying out of the base in Italy crashed over North Africa, with the crew ejecting. The U.S. Africa Command said both crew members were safe after what was believed to be a mechanical failure of the Air Force F-15.
