Tripoli hit in heaviest Nato attack
Nato warplanes have bombarded targets in Tripoli with more than 20 air strikes around Muammar Gaddafi’s residential compound early today, in what appeared to be the heaviest night of bombing in the Libyan capital since the Western alliance launched its air campaign against his forces.
The rapid string of strikes, all within less than half an hour, set off thunderous booms that rattled windows and sent heavy plumes of smoke over the city, including from an area close to Gaddafi’s sprawling Bab al-Aziziya compound.
