Two large missiles or bombs exploded in Bab Al-Aziziyah Gaddafi's just after midnight, injuring compound slightly four persons in accordance with a security guard at the site, who spoke the condition of anonymity.

It was not clear who launched the airstrike, but Reuters reported a Libyan official saying that he was by NATO, which did not provide confirmation.

The same Libyan official told the agency that the attack was an attempt on the life of Gaddafi. But it did not provide details on its fairways and venues or condition.

The two bombs seriously damaged a several-storey building and a second structure was damaged by the explosions. The second building was apparently used for ceremonies more: sofas and chandeliers, and frames which had been thrown to the ground could be seen in the rubble.
