Here in tripoli. it seemed to us one of the targets that might have been hit could have been an ammunition dump. you had one major explosion and several secondary explosions coming from the same site. there was a barrage of anti-aircraft fire that went into the air, pretty useless trying to hit the jets because they fly at an altitude much to high for the flat cannons to hit. also as we know and have been talking about the past couple of days also predator drones now in use especially it seems t...
