Tripoli (ANTARA News/AFP) - Heavy explosions late Sunday shook the centre of Tripoli as warplanes overflew the Libyan capital, AFP journalists said.

The blasts, the strongest to have hit the city so far, shook the hotel in which foreign correspondents here are staying not far from downtown.

The explosions came at 2210 GMT Sunday in several districts of Tripoli, which has been the target since Friday of intensive NATO raids. (*)
