Giant Fireballs as NATO Strikes Tripoli

NATO planes attacked Libya’s capital, Tripoli, early Tuesday striking at least 15 targets, in the area near Moammar Gadhafi’s command compound. NATO says they were aimed at a government vehicle storage facility adjacent to the Gadhafi compound. Many of the buildings were empty, reports John Burns, who is in Tripoli for The New York Times. Burns says that NATO commanders and the leaders of Britain, France and the United States “are seriously worried about a stalemate that has settled over this conflict, we are now deeply committed and we need some kind of game changer… and these attacks certainly felt like a potential game changer.”
