Gadhafi Compound Bombed

A direct missile strike on Moammar Gadhafi's compound in Tripoli has destroyed a building that functioned as a military command center, allied officials have announced. Gadhafi himself and his home were not targeted, according to authorities. The building was completely demolished, but no casualties were immediately reported. The strike "destroyed Gadhafi's command and control capability," a BBC reporter was told. The attack "significantly degraded the regime's air defense capability," said US Navy Vice Admiral William Gortney. (More Libya stories.)
