Bombing destroys presidential building in Tripoli Monday, 25 April 2011
Tripoli, April 25: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's office in his immense Tripoli residence was destroyed in an air strike today, an AFP journalist said. A Libyan official accompanying journalists at the scene said 45 people were wounded, 15 seriously, in the bombing. He added that he did not know whether there were victims under the rubble. "It was an attempt to assassinate Gaddafi," he affirmed. A meeting room facing Gaddafi's office was badly damaged by the blast. NATO warplanes had already late Friday targeted the Bab Al-Aziziya district, where the presidential compound is located. Heavy explosions shook the centre of Tripoli today as warplanes overflew the Libyan capital. The blasts, the strongest to have hit the city so far, shook the hotel in which foreign correspondents here are staying not far from downtown. ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
