WASHINGTON - The US military confirmed on Sunday that Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar was the target of a US air strike in Libya but did not say if he had been killed.

"The strike was carried out by US aircraft. We are continuing to assess the results of the operation and will provide more details as appropriate," Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said in a statement.

Libya's recognized government said earlier on Sunday that Belmokhtar, blamed for masterminding an Algerian gas field attack and running smuggling routes across North Africa, had been killed in a US air strike inside Libya.
