Libya: Heaviest blitz yet brings terror to Tripoli

Franz Weber | 25.05.2011 11:30 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War

NATO has launched its most intense bombardment yet against Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's stronghold of Tripoli with a series of airstrikes causing explosions in the Libyan capital.
The international community has stepped up raids and diplomatic efforts against the regime in a bid to break a virtual stalemate, with the rebels in the east and Col Gaddafi maintaining his hold on most of the west. The Nato attacks came in rapid succession within a half-hour time span, setting off more than 20 explosions and sending up plumes of acrid-smelling smoke from an area around Col Gaddafi's sprawling Bab al-Aziziya compound in central Tripoli.

Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said at least three people were killed and dozens wounded in strikes that targeted what he described as buildings used by volunteer units of the Libyan army. Nato said in a statement that a number of precision-guided weapons hit a vehicle storage facility adjacent to Bab al-Aziziya that has been used to supply regime forces "conducting attacks on civilians".

It was not immediately clear if the facility was the only target hit in the barrage. Bab al-Aziziya, which includes a number of military facilities, has been pounded repeatedly by allied air strikes. ............ M O R E:  http://news.scotsman.com/world/Heaviest-blitz-yet-brings-terror.6773906.jp

Picture: The NATO terror syndicate led by USA-UK terror twins and France and Italy ... Western democracy suppliers, authorized by the notorious UNSC, are deadly focused on energy resources of sovereign Libya and keep provoking the rebel betrayers to attack Libyans and installations with NATO weapons. The NATO terror syndicate led by USA-UK terror twins and France and Italy which has been illegally attacking Libyan Arabs after invading the sovereign nation on a fictitious mandate of the notorious UNSC, said earlier that its planes had carried out 6,000 missions .......
