NATO tries assassinating Gaddafi again. 3 dead, 27 wounded in new missile attack
Five NATO missiles struck Moammar Gaddafi’s compound early Thursday, hours after the Libyan leader made his first public appearance in nearly two weeks.
Three people died and 27 were injured in the attack, a Gaddafi spokesman said. The strikes appeared to be part of a stepped-up NATO campaign in recent days that reflects better coordination with Libyan rebels and has helped the rebels make significant advances in the key city of Misurata. Libyan government officials escorted foreign journalists to tour the stricken Gaddafi complex Thursday afternoon, showing them damage from the missiles in several places — including an underground chamber that had been blown open and was emanating heat, suggesting that a fire was burning below.
