NATO Launches New Strike on Gaddafi Compound

HeadlineMay 12, 2011

At least two people have been killed in the latest NATO air strike on the Tripoli compound of Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi. It is the first known deaths at the compound since the attack that killed Gaddafi’s youngest son and three grandchildren late last month. The bombing came hours after the Libyan government released new footage of Gaddafi after a two-week lull. There are conflicting accounts, meanwhile, of clashes in the western city of Misurata. Rebel groups say they have captured the airport there, but the Gaddafi regime has rejected their claims.
