21.57 From our correspondent in Tripoli, Charles Clover:

At about 9:15 last night, 6 Tomohawk cruise missiles slammed into a naval base on Tripoli’s coast. One took out an electrical shop, one hit a mechanical warehouse, another caved in an oil dump, and another turned some Russian made B-20 rocket trucks into heaps of twisted metal.

“It is amazing, but no one was killed” said Lt Col Adel Mohammed, who was on the scene to speak to a group of foreign journalists brought there by the government on Tuesday. “I was about 100m away, in my office. Suddenly ‘boom!’ boom!’ ‘boom!’” he said, miming the blasts with his hands.

The Lt Col, with whom I spoke at length about the raid, had an interesting theory about why it was hit.
