NATO strikes Gadhafi's Control Centre

Pressure, both diplomatic and military, builds on Ghadafi to step down.

NATO announced on Saturday that it struck a Tripoli command and control center where Moammar Gadhafi sometimes resides and conducted a rare daytime air strike in an effort to place pressure on the Libyan leader to quit. The compound was a major military barracks and headquarters and was central to Gadhafi's network of secret police and intelligence agencies, according to a NATO spokesperson. The daytime strike came after five days of nightly NATO attacks, and after Russia's call for Gadhafi's departure, a significant change for the country that had previously criticized NATO's intervention.
