Blasts in Tripoli as NATO strikes go on

Misrata, Libya (CNN) -- A series of loud bomb blasts rang out in Tripoli Tuesday morning -- some seeming to come from near Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's compound as NATO's air campaign continued.

At least 10 blasts were heard in Tripoli and dark smoke hung in the air in the area near the compound. It was unclear, however, what exactly the bombs had struck.

Earlier Tuesday morning, Libyan state television showed images of destroyed buildings, damaged studios and satellite vehicles -- saying it was the aftermath of a different NATO airstrike that allegedly hit its facilities in Tripoli.

NATO disputed the account.

"We did not target or hit the Libyan broadcast facilities. What we did target was the military intelligence headquarters in downtown Tripoli," the alliance said. "The story coming from Libyan officials that we targeted and hit the state broadcaster's building is bogus."

The back and forth between Libyan officials and NATO continues a public relations war between the two sides.

Libyan officials have continually charged that NATO airstrikes have damaged civilian facilities and killed hundreds of civilians.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said recently that his forces have made ""significant progress" in its U.N. Security Council mandate to protect Libyan civilians.

This week, the Libyan government said it had evidence that alliance airstrikes were harming civilians.

Officials took journalists to Tajura, a city east of Tripoli, to show them a small crater which held what appeared to be the remains of a rocket.

The reporters were also taken to some nearby homes that thMe government said was damaged by airstrikes.

NATO, reached later by phone, said it had been active in the area hitting military sites but it could not confirm the attacks caused the damage in the residential area.

The group was then taken to a nearby hospital to see Nasib, a comatose baby -- a victim of the airstrikes, the government claimed.

A woman, whom the government said was Nasib's mother, cried over the child's listless body.

Journalists were not allowed to talk to the grieving woman or doctors. But a doctor quietly slipped a note to one of the journalists.

The girl was injured in a car accident, the note said, and not a bomb attack.
