NATO stages rare daytime air strike on Tripoli
http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFJOE74R01320110528

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - NATO carried out a rare daytime air strike on Tripoli on Saturday after a fifth straight night of attacks, adding to military and diplomatic pressure on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to quit after 41 years of power.

A big boom shook the Libya capital at about 0800 GMT but it was unclear if it was caused by a bomb or missile, or what the target was. No further information was immediately available.

NATO bombed several sites in the capital on Friday night, Libyan state television and Arab news channel Al Arabiya reported. The Libyan broadcaster said NATO raids also caused "human and material" damage near Mizda, to the south.

Russia joined Western leaders on Friday in urging Gaddafi to step down and offered to mediate his departure, providing an important boost to NATO powers seeking to end his long rule.

1. Money is coming from China
And other sources that we borrow from.
Austerity is just for peons. The Mil-Industrial complex is doing just fine, thank you very much.
