WASHINGTON — Coalition jets patrolled the no-fly zone over Libya today but launched no new strikes after scattering and isolating Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi’s forces with a weekend of punishing air attacks, Pentagon officials said.

American military authorities were moving to hand control of the operation to its allies in the coalition, though no precise timetable for such a handoff has been specified.

A cruise missile attack blasted Gadhafi’s residential compound late Sunday, hitting a military command and control center, two U.S. officials said. It was the final strike launched over a weekend of ferocious air missions to destroy Libyan air defense and set up the no-fly zone approved by the United Nations to protect civilians.

A mix of coalition aircraft was enforcing the new zone and officials said they saw no indications that Gadhafi had tried to fly any of his planes. They were unaware of whether there had been strikes on any Gadhafi ground forces Monday.

Gadhafi is not a target of the campaign, a senior military official said Sunday, but he could not guarantee the Libyan leader’s safety.
