Muammar Gaddafi was in the Building but of course he was unhurt, Some of his grandsons were killed also.
Just wondering, besides being dead, what kind of a moron brings his kids to see Grampa in the middle of a war? especially when Grampa is the one everyone wants dead!
BBC
A Nato air strike in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, has killed the son of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, a government spokesman has said.
Saif al-Arab and three of Col Gaddafi's grandchildren died at their villa in the Bab al-Aziziya compound, he said.
The Libyan leader himself was in the villa at the time, the spokesman said, but was unharmed.
Nato said it had hit a "known command-and-control building" in the area, adding it did not "target individuals".
An alliance spokesman, Lt Gen Charles Bouchard, said "all Nato's targets are military in nature".
He added that he was aware of reports that members of Col Gaddafi's family had been killed, but made no further comment.
"We regret all loss of life, especially the innocent civilians being harmed as a result of the ongoing conflict," said Lt Gen Bouchard.

Libya and Yemen Try to Suppress Protests
84 dead in Libya, Yemen who knows.
Now that damn near every Muslim country in the world is in turmoil, we are stating to see this here.
The Hand Basket to hell is not big enough anymore.
The New York Times
Cities across northern Africa and the Middle East teetered on a knife’s edge on Saturday as shaken governments in Libya and Yemen made new moves to stifle waves of uprisings.
In Libya, where days of demonstrations have challenged the 41-year rule of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, new protests continued to flare even as the government continued a violent crackdown against the opposition. Libya also moved to shut off Internet access, mirroring a tactic used by Egyptian authorities to thwart an upheaval that eventually led to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.
Antigovernment marches in the impoverished nation of Yemen took a violent turn as pro-government supporters dressed in civilian clothes opened fire on a group opposing President Ali Abdullah Saleh, wounding at least four people. And hundreds of police in Algeria’s capital used clubs to overwhelm a small group of antigovernment demonstrators, according to news reports.
The New York-based group Human Rights Watch said that the death toll in Libya after three days of government crackdowns against protesters had risen to 84, and news reports said that bodies were continuing to flow into the country’s hospitals and morgues.
Libyan authorities appeared to cut off Internet service overnight, further obscuring the view into one of the region’s most isolated nations.

Yemenis trying to oust leader protest for 5th day
Yemen protests, Not quite there yet.
CHRON
SANAA, Yemen — Yemenis scuffled with police Tuesday as thousands marched in the capital for a fifth consecutive day in Egypt-inspired protests demanding political reforms and the ouster of the country's U.S.-allied president.
Police tried to disperse the demonstrators using tear gas and batons, but some 3,000 protesters defiantly continued their march from Sanaa University toward the city center, chanting slogans against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, including "down with the president's thugs."
The procession gained momentum with hundreds of students and rights activists joining along the way.
Riot police blocked the main road leading to the city center and clashed with protesters throwing stones. Three protesters were injured and rushed to the hospital in ambulances.
About 2,000 government supporters also staged a counter-demonstration in the center, raising concerns about potential clashes.
