NATO destroys Libyan state TV

The associated press reports that NATO warplanes bombed three Libyan state TV satellite transmitters in Tripoli overnight, targeting a key propaganda tool that the military alliance said Saturday is used by Moammar Gadhafi's government to incite violence and threaten civilians.

There was no comment from Libyan officials on what had been hit, but state TV was still on the air in Tripoli on Saturday.

NATO said the airstrikes aimed to degrade Gadhafi's "use of satellite television as a means to intimidate the Libyan people and incite acts of violence against them."
