They state that (3) B-2 Spirit aircraft flew non-stop from America to Libya, and dropped (40) bombs on a "major Libyan airfield".
That's a long flight to drop just 40 bombs.
They could have been dropping the big 2,000 lb Mk 84 general purpose bombs, or GBU-31 or 36 smart bombs. A single B-2 can carry (16) bombs of this size. That would be about right for sending (3) birds. The Pentagon isn't confirming the B-2 strikes yet, so it's hard to say what may have been used, or on what kind of target.
