NATO airstrikes again targeted areas in and around the Libyan capital Tripoli, broadcaster CNN reported early Friday.

A number of explosions could be heard in Tripoli late Thursday and early Friday, the report said. According to a Libyan government official, the airstrikes also destroyed several targets in al-Aziziya, a city about 50 kilometres west of Tripoli, including the main police station. Two policemen were killed in the attack, CNN quoted the unnamed official as saying.

Also hit was an area near a compound of Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi in Bab al-Aziziya, the report said.

Clashes also continued between rebels and forces loyal to Gaddafi near the eastern city of Misurata. At least one person was killed, DPA reported.
