Cannot find anything on the web yet, but BBC Radio 5 Live is reporting a "very loud explosion" in Tripoli near Gaddafi's compound. The host said this information was coming from a BBC correspondant on the ground, so it seems likely to be accurate, for what it is worth so far.

All I can find so far is
twitter.com... this guy saying there have been more planes flying low for longer than ever before, and sirens are going off, but as of 25 minutes ago he hadn't heard an explosion. Don't know where he is located exactly, but that post seems to be a bit earlier than the report.

Right, the report was that it was extremely loud, standing out from the bombing which has been ongoing. I haven't heard anything else yet.

3 dead near Gaddafi's coumpound

It was posted 20 minutes ago. Must be what you were talking about, OP.

But it is still a very short news.

Ah, thank you very much. That looks like it, and confirms the confusion -- "very loud explosion" reported, but other correspondents only heard the "jets" (probably drones). So it likely was the NATO airstrikes after all. Since it says it was a car park, I wonder if the extra noise (if it was actually heard) came from gas tanks in vehicles igniting. I can't think of another reason to target a parking lot except for the fact that it comes with its own handy minibombs, anyway.

I'm glad I could assist you!

Yes, the car park would have been like a mini minefield... Maybe it was to give a show, either for MSM, or to impress Gaddafi and company.
