On Sunday, NATO said one of the missiles struck a residential area in Tripoli, and admitted that one of its missiles, due to weapons failure, may have led to civilian casualties. BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen was taken to see the remains of the country estate of Khweildy al-Hamidi, a member of the Libyan Revolutionary Command Center, the inner circle of government. Libyan officials told him that eight rockets slammed into the palace at about 0400 or 0500 on Monday morning. There are shell holes and craters in the houses in the compound, our correspondent says, after what was a "very comprehensive attack".

Mr. Hamadi has been part of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's inner circle since the 1969 coup that brought the Libyan leader to power.
