    A Rafale fighter jet returns from a mission over Libya to France's flagship Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, in the Golf of Sirte, off the Libyan coast, Tuesday, April, 12, 2011. The missions are aimed at enforcing the no-fly zone and supressing any attacks by Gadhafi's forces against civilians and rebels in eastern Libya.
