Fresh NATO strikes hit around Tripoli

NATO airstrikes are rattling the Libyan capital, with seven thunderous explosions shaking the city.

Concussions from the Thursday morning strikes, in clusters of a few minutes apart, washed over Tripoli from its outskirts.

On Tuesday, NATO conducted its heaviest attacks on Tripoli since it began airstrikes two months ago in support of a rebel insurgency.

The four-month old rebel uprising seeks to push Moammar Gadhafi from power after four decades. Rebels have swaths of eastern Libya, although fighting has since become a stalemate even with NATO support.
