The facade of the building in Tripoli was clearly in ruins late on Sunday,
|
|
with rubble strewn about, but there was no smoke, fire or other evidence to
|
|
suggest such a recent attack, not even any broken furniture or shattered
|
|
glass.
|
|
|
|
"It is extremely close to the leader's tent, and a house that was bombed by
|
|
the Americans in 1986," said government spokesman Musa Ibrahim. "This
|
|
contradicts American claims... that it is not their target to attack this
|
|
place."
|
|
|
|
Asked why there there was no smoke or other signs of a fresh attack, the
|
|
spokesman said: "I don't know why there is no smoke. I am not a military
|
|
expert."
|
|
|
|
A few hundred Libyans acting as human shields chanted support for Gaddafi as
|
|
journalists visited the compound.
|
|
|
|
Government officials said no one was killed or injured in what they described
|
|
as a Western missile attack.
