Tripoli pummeled by more airstrikes

Libya: Over a dozen massive explosions have rocked central Tripoli as intensified NATO airstrikes over the city continue. Six blasts were heard at 12:35 a.m. Thursday morning (2235 GMT Wednesday) which were followed by several more explosions minutes later, AFP reported.

NATO fighter jets carried out attacks late Monday and Tuesday on Tripoli, the suburb of Tajura, and Al-Jafra, 600 kilometers (370 miles) to the south.

For more than a week, NATO warplanes have intensified attacks on Tripoli, especially in the Bab al-Aziziya district of the city, where the residence of the embattled ruler is located. On Tuesday, Libyan government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said 718 civilians were killed and 4,067 others injured during NATO airstrikes from March 19 to May 26.
