Gaddafi escaped a kamikaze attack
[Ennahar] Gaddafi escaped an assassination attempt in the barracks of Bab el Azizia in the Libyan capital Tripoli after a fighter has attacked the area where Gaddafi was supposed to be, with two missiles before the pro- Gaddafi forces did manage to fight back and shoot him.

Other sources report that the pilot had launched his plane, as a Kamikaze, against al Azizia.

The latter, according to the insurgents would be the Libyan Col. Mohamed Osmane. He changed the course after takeoff from the base of El Maïtika, and directed against the region of Bab el Azizia.

This bomber, the sources said, would have made a lot of human and material damage. A large number of senior regime leaders and relatives of Gaddafi were reportedly died in the attack. Some even claim that one of Qaddafi's son also died.

This attack was first targeting Colonel Gaddafi and the latter has escaped few minutes before he made his speech to the Libyans.

Some insurgents' information sites have promised that there would be other attempts against Colonel Qaddafi and that they will not miss him next time.
