Libya: NATO steps up air strikes on Tripoli
NATO planes have launched a series of air attacks on Libya's capital Tripoli, with correspondents saying they may be the largest so far of the campaign.
Between 12 and 20 explosions were reported in the early hours of Tuesday.
Some of the strikes appear to have targeted Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound, BBC reported.
Three people were killed and 150 wounded in the strikes.
NATO is enforcing a UN resolution to protect civilians, following the uprising against Col Gaddafi's rule.
