Interesting; kamikaze into Gaddafi ?
Edited on Tue Mar-15-11 04:54 PM by tabatha
"23:16 Update: A trusted source has confirmed to us this story: The pilot who flew his plane into Baab Al Aziziyah took off as part of a 2 plane team with the mission of bombing strategic points in Al Guradibya base in Sirte. Their orders were to return immedietly after completing the mission. One pilot followed orders while the other flew to Tripoli where he emptied what he had left of ammunition on Baab Al Aziziyah and then crashed his plane into it."

Bab al-Azizia is a military barracks and compound, situated in the southern suburbs of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. It is the main base location for the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Originally called Bāb al 'Azīzīyah,<1> the 6-square-kilometre (2.3 sq mi) base<2> is strategically located south of Tripoli at the northern end of Airport Highway, allowing easy access to both government assets within the city, as well as direct high-speed road access to Tripoli International Airport.
