Video : Belgium's first bombing mission in Libya

Belgium is part of a coalition of Nato members and some Arab countries conducting air strikes on Libyan government forces under a UN mandate aimed at protecting civilians from forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The video was released as command of coalition forces was transferred to Nato, which says the alliance was due to reach full operational capacity on Thursday.
Belgium is operating six F16 fighting Falcons from Araxos Airbase in Greece as part of the Nato-led Operation Odyssey Dawn.
The footage was said to have been shot on 30 March 2011.
The first sequence shows a plane stationary on the ground which subsequently explodes and can be seen burning.
The following sequence shows a building and a second explosion, followed by flames and smoke coming from the building.
