Jan. 19 (UPI) -- American B-2 bombers killed at least 85 Islamic State militants in Libya after dropping 108 precision-guided bombs in several locations, U.S. defense officials said. The stealth bombers targeted at least one Islamic State training camp on Wednesday. U.S. drones launched hellfire missiles at escaping Islamic State militants. The B-2 bombers took off from their permanent base in Missouri, carried out the bombing operation and flew back home -- refueling five times without landing. The United States has carried out about 500 airstrikes in Sirte since August, targeting Islamic State militants.
