Blasts shake east Tripoli

Five loud explosions rocked the eastern part of the Libyan capital on Monday night, witnesses said, although they could not pinpoint the precise location of the blasts.

"We heard three loud explosions and we saw flames and smoke billowing close to us," a resident of Ain Zara neighbourhood in eastern Tripoli told AFP.

Two other detonations shook the same neighbourhood a few minutes later, another witness said.

Later, Al-Jamahiriya television said NATO had raided civil and military targets in the Ain Zara district and at Bir Al-Ghanam, 50 kilometres (30 miles) to the southwest.

The television quoted a military source as saying there had been
victims, but gave no number.

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's office in his immense Tripoli residence was destroyed in a NATO air strike early on Monday, while loud explosions were heard in several districts of the capital as warplanes roared overhead.

But Gaddafi is safe and his morale is high, regime spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said. "The leader is working from Tripoli... The leader is in a safe place," he said.

Ibrahim said three people were killed and 45 wounded -- 15 seriously -- in the NATO air strike.
