Libyan warplane strikes outside rebel-held base AJDABIYAH - A Libyan warplane bombed just beyond the walls of a military base used to store massive amounts of ammunition and now held by rebels in the eastern town of Ajdabiyah on Friday but did not hit it, rebels said.

“We were sat here, heard the jet, then the explosion and the earth shook. They fell outside the walls,” Hassan Faraj, who was guarding an ammunitions store at the Haniyeh base, said. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s air force mounted a similar attack on the facility earlier this week, hitting in and around the base but not striking anything of significance.

The base comprises 35 bunkers. Earlier this week, this correspondent was shown one bunker packed with some 10,000 tonnes of ammunition. Warplanes raided eastern towns on Thursday after launching a ground assault on Brega on Wednesday that rebels repulsed.

One rebel Libyan military officer, a defector from Gaddafi’s armed forces, said earlier this week he believed the warplanes had missed on purpose because their pilots did not want to kill fellow Libyans. Another rebel volunteer, Aziz Saleh, said two rockets had been fired in Friday’s attack. They had landed just outside the walls of the base, he said. “I saw it myself, there were two rockets,” he said.
