Misrata Rocket Attack Destroys Fuel Depo. Massive Fire!

They say the evil Gadhafi Force has used multiple rocket attacks to blow up a fuel depo in Misrata, Libya, Saturday Morning. They say "Fuel Depo" in a "Rebel strong hold", but they might as well have said Gas Station in a suburb. It looks like a fairly modern city to me. You have beach resorts and kids swimming in all the Panaramio photos. Damn war.

After midnight, rockets began landing and exploding in several areas of the terminal.
At least one rocket hit a set of three mammoth tanks, which ruptured and burst into a fireball. The fires blaze towered overheard, visible for miles. Its glow illuminated the eastern section of the city throughout the night. Residents woke to a thick, drifting cloud of black smoke and the news that Misurata’s port, had been peppered with antitank land mines.
