Libyan forces crush bid to storm Khadafy fortress
Libyan troops repelled a small rebel group that attacked Muammar Khadafy’s Bab el-Aziziya barracks, home to the leader and his family. The five hour assault left dozens dead and drew claims of Khadafy’s death from a caller while initial intelligence suggested he survived. The National Front of the Salvation of Libya claimed responsibility, vowing escalation.
