NATO Strikes Government Buildings Libyan Official

The crowds in Tripoli gathered Tuesday morning outside two burning buildings the aftermath of what a Libyan official said were NATO airstrikes on government facilities.
Spokesman Musa Ibrahim said the buildings housed the Ministry of Popular Inspection and Oversight a government anti-corruption body and the head of the police force in Tripoli. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Earlier, the sounds of two explosions and jets pierced through the night sky.
Some people ventured outside in the early morning hours to inspect the damage. Others, including a crowd of young men carrying a large portrait of Moammar Gadhafi and waving the country's green flag, marched in front of the buildings chanted slogans of support for the Libyan leader.

The documents were spread over the grounds of the ministry building. Ibrahim told reporters that in the last few days, the ministry had put together corruption files against leaders in the Libyan opposition's Transitional National Council. He said the files "fortunately survived."
