NATO planes have launched a series of air attacks on Libya's capital Tripoli. Some of the strikes appear to have targeted Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound. They came after France announced it and the U.K would also deploy attack helicopters to escalate strike power. NATO is enforcing a UN resolution to protect civilians following the uprising against Col Gaddafi's rule. At least a dozen explosions were reported. The first blasts were in the vicinity of Bab al-Aziziya and were followed by more in other parts of the city. Plumes of smoke were rising from the area of Bab al-Aziziya and anti-aircraft guns were firing. Libyan officials said three people were killed and 150 wounded in the strikes.
