Cairo:

Libyan warplanes were bombing indiscriminately across Tripoli on Monday, a

resident of the Libyan capital told al Jazeera television in a live broadcast.

" What we are witnessing today is unimaginable. Warplanes and helicopters are

indiscriminately bombing one area after another. There are many, many dead, "

Adel Mohamed Saleh said.

Saleh, who called himself a political activist, said the bombings had initially

targeted a funeral procession.

" Our people are dying. It is the policy of scorched earth. " he said. " Every 20

minutes they are bombing. "

Asked if the attacks were still happening he said: " It is continuing, it is

continuing. Anyone who moves, even if they are in their car they will hit you. "

There was no independent verification of the report but Fathi al-Warfali, the

Libyan activist who heads the Swiss-based Libyan Committee for Truth and

Justice, who was taking part in a protest outside U.N. European headquarters in

Geneva said he had heard the same reports.
