U.S. military says an Air Force fighter jet has crashed in Libya, amid an international military campaign to cripple Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's air defenses and protect civilians from his forces.
A spokesman for the U.S. Africa Command Vince Crawley said the crash likely was caused by a mechanical problem and not gunfire. Crawley said one crew member has been recovered and the other is "in the process" of being recovered.
Coalition forces pounded Libya for a third straight night Monday.
U.S. General Carter Ham said Monday that the coalition will expand the United Nations-authorized no-fly zone it is enforcing over Libya. But he said the allied bombing attacks are likely to become less frequent unless something unexpected happens.
