Raids on Libyan weapons depots reported

NATO air attacks have hit Libyan government weapons depots near Zintan, southwest of Tripoli, the capital, according to a rebel spokesman in the town.
Separately, two loud explosions rocked a western sector of Tripoli on Sunday as jets flew overhead, witnesses told the AFP news agency.
An international coalition began carrying out attacks on forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's long-time ruler, on March 19, under a UN mandate to protect civilians in the country. NATO took command of operations over Libya on March 31.

"NATO struck weapons depots five minutes ago in an area which lies about 30km southeast of Zintan," Abdulrahman, the rebel spokesman,  told the Reuters news agency by telephone on Sunday.
"We heard a loud explosion ... I think the strike hit some of them [the depots].
"We are now at a cemetery burying 11 people martyred during yesterday's fighting, in which 35 other fighters were also wounded."
The reported air raids came a week after the Libyan goverment said that Gaddafi's son, Seif al-Arab Gaddafi, and three of his grandchildren were killed in a NATO air strike on a compound in Tripoli.
The Tripoli-based government said that the attack was a bid to assassinate the Libyan leader, a claim NATO denies.
