Libya, Tripoli raid Born on: "We do not know where it is and if you live Gaddafi"

Overnight Tripoli has been subjected to particularly intense bombing by NATO planes, which for three consecutive hours have attacked several targets in different parts of the capital of Libya. In the city, from 2 am, there followed at least eight violent explosions and, according to eyewitnesses, "the direction from which came one of them indicates that you have targeted the complex of Muammar Gaddafi," is to say the residence of Colonel-bunker in Bab al-Aziziya.

Would be affected also the headquarters of the television system 'al-Jamahiriyah' and the official press agency 'Jana', as well as a telecommunications tower. In many areas have rung the alarm bells, sometimes followed by bursts of automatic weapons aimed at the sky. Libyan officials have led a group of foreign journalists to visit the center for plastic surgery and burns unit in the district of Shariah Zawiya, showing their four children injured patients, two of them seriously, apparently by flying glass projected radially by shockwaves of the explosion.

Reporters have been made to see the ruins of a palace where he had established the State Commission for Children, was completely destroyed. A spokesman for the Alliance took over as NATO's air raids on Tripoli not will mark the start of an escalation of the Libyan campaign of the allies, but the desire to keep the pressure on Gaddafi's regime to undermine his ability to hit the civilian population.

"We continue to apply the same strategy: to minimize the ability of the regime of Gaddafi of hitting civilians," said Carmen Romero. The spokesman reiterated that the objectives of NATO soldiers are individuals and there are specific targets of the raid. The same line repeated a few hours later by General Claudio Gabellini, involved in the planning of NATO's operations in Libya.

Asked if the Alliance know if the colonel is alive or dead Gabellini said: "We have no evidence about what Gaddafi is doing and we do not really care, our mandate is to protect the civilian population, not to strike individuals ". Yesterday, the secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, had warned that Gaddafi "time is running out" and that "you'd better know as soon as there is no future for him or for his regime" .

Meanwhile, continuing the long battle for measuring socket. The third largest city by population of Libya after Tripoli and Benghazi and important industrial center in the Golden Age of the administration of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Misurata is a center where, by mid-February, there has been the most violent fighting between Gaddafi's opponents and loyalists.

Today, the rebels announced that they had rejected outside the perimeter of the city the troops of Colonel, after defeating the units that were still on the outskirts of the village. The brigades would be Gaddafi's 15 kilometers from the city center and the rebels advancing on three different WOULD BE, focusing on route to Zlitan.

The loyalists, however, retain control of the eastern part of the airport, away from the city. Last week jets bombed Qaddafi, on different days, four oil depots in the area of Qasr Ahmed, near the port and the port itself. And in a city the humanitarian situation is alarming shortage of food for weeks, water and medicine.
