Quote25 April 2011 VOA News Libyan state television says NATO warplanes have bombed civilian and military targets in the capital, Tripoli, and in at least one other location.
The Libyan report said the attacks took place late Monday in Bir al-Ghanam, 100 kilometers southwest of Tripoli, and in the Ain Zara area of the capital, causing casualties. No other details were provided. And there was no immediate NATO confirmation.
Earlier Monday, a NATO airstrike in Tripoli destroyed a building in the complex where leader Moammar Gadhafi lives. NATO says it targeted a communications headquarters used to coordinate attacks against civilians.
However, Libyan officials say the strike was an attempt to assassinate Mr. Gadhafi. Authorities say the bombed building was used for ministerial gatherings and other meetings. Reporters have not been able to verify casualties.
Mr. Gadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam, said NATO is fighting a losing battle in Libya because it is "backed by traitors, agents and spies." He said the bombing "will only scare children."
Also Monday, Italy said for the first time it will begin bombing selected military targets in Libya. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said he told U.S. President Barack Obama about the decision and would call other European leaders to personally inform them as well.
Italy previously said it would not participate in airstrikes against its former colony. The two countries have close economic ties and Rome had been one of Mr. Gadhafi's closest European allies until his violent suppression of an uprising prompted the U.N. Security Council to authorize the use of force to protect civilians.
Gadhafi's becoming an almost comedic villain.
This is what comes to mind:
