Libya war: Nato air strike destroys buildings in Gaddafi's Tripoli compound

Nato forces destroyed buildings inside Colonel Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziyah compound early on Monday, in what a press official from Gaddafi's government said was an attempt on the Libyan leader's life. 

Firefighters were still working to extinguish flames in a part of the ruined building a few hours after the attack, when foreign journalists were brought to the scene in Tripoli. 

The press official, who asked not to be identified, said 45 people were hurt in the strike, 15 of them seriously, and some were still missing.
