Madison Ruppert: Direct Attacks near Gaddafi's Residence in Tripoli!

According to an AFP journalist, two blasts rocked the area near Muammar Gaddafi's residence in Libya's capital city, Tripoli, around 12:50 AM Sunday local time. NATO confirmed that its war planes struck one of Gaddafi's military command centers, claiming responsibility for seven strikes. 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, though it did not mention Gaddafi's residential compound.
