Libya denounced a NATO airstrike on Muammar Qaddafi’s compound as an assassination attempt, as Italy announced it will join in airstrikes on pro-regime forces that threaten civilians.

The NATO attack destroyed part of Qaddafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound in the capital Tripoli. NATO said in an e-mailed statement that it hit a “communications headquarters” in Tripoli, without giving details. A local security official said four people were slightly hurt, The Associated Press reported.
