TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Tripoli was rocked by a series of airstrikes by NATO forces in the early hours of the morning Sunday.Libyan television reported that the "NATO crusader forces" had hit civilian and military targets in the eastern suburb of Tajoura. Just after midnight Sunday, a series of dull rumbles and flashes could be seen to the east of Tripoli, illuminating huge plumes of smoke and accompanied by the sporadic tracers of antiaircraft fire. The distant rumbling blasts continued for at least an hour, suggesting some kind of facility with explosive materials had been hit. Aircraft could be heard soaring through the night sky, which was illuminated by a nearly full moon. NATO fighters have been carrying out airstrikes against Libyan military targets as part of a U.N.-mandated operation to protect civilians. The blasts come after three days of defiant speeches by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
