TRIPOLI, Libya — Two loud explosions have shaken the area near Moammar Gadhafi's compound in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
The thunderous late morning blasts on Monday could be felt at a hotel where foreign journalists stay in Tripoli.
Smoke could be seen rising from the area near Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya complex, where Libyans hold daily rallies in support of the government. Gadhafi is not believed to be staying in the compound.
NATO jets were heard overhead minutes after the blasts as sirens from emergency vehicles blared in the streets.
It wasn't immediately clear what was hit or if there were civilian casualties.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
