According to an AFP journalist, two blasts rocked the area in which Muammar Gaddafi’s residence resides in Libya’s capital city Tripoli around 12:50 AM Sunday local time.
NATO confirmed that its warplanes struck one of Gaddafi’s military command centers, claiming responsibility for seven strikes in total.
In a Times of India report, it was said that a column of smoke was observed over Gaddafi’s residential complex itself. The article also claims that it had been directly targeted by NATO bombers on Saturday.
An AFP article states the same but fails to cite any official sources for this claim that NATO was directly targeting Gaddafi.
NATO has been directly targeting Gaddafi since the beginning of the campaign, evidenced by their attack on one of his compounds that resulted in the death of his family members. However, it would be bombshell news if NATO openly admitted to attempting to assassinate a leader with the peoples’ support.
A Reuters report, however, cites “one Tripoli resident” who said that one of the NATO strikes appeared to hit a formerly untouched intelligence building in Tripoli.
The Reuters article never mentions Gaddafi’s residential compound.
Libyan officials representing the Gaddafi regime have come forward, yet again, saying that they are ready to hold more talks with the United States and with the rebel forces.
For months now the Libyan government has been seeking a peaceful, democratic negotiation with the rebels but all indications are that NATO has no interest in such a solution.
While the mainstream media never fails to refer to Gaddafi in a pejorative manner, the people of Libya seem to be much more split over how they view their leader.
In an article published last month I detailed just some of the indications of the incomplete, propagandized picture presented to us by the Western media and their allies abroad regarding the support, or lack thereof, Gaddafi still holds on to in Libya.
The most glaring examples are the massive pro-Gaddafi demonstrations occurring in Libya, especially in the capitol of Tripoli.
When the corporate special interest media does mention these rallies, they are quick to say that the people look like they were forced to be there or were paid off to show support, all without providing a shred of evidence.
After five months solid of fighting with the massive forces of NATO behind them, the Libyan opposition forces still have not managed to oust Gaddafi.
The United States has officially recognized the al Qaeda-affiliated rebel forces as the legitimate representatives of the Libyan people, all without a single democratic voting process to determine that the people of Libya actually want these individuals in charge. READ FULL ARTICLE
