TRIPOLI - A NATO air strike hit a parking lot in central Tripoli earlier Saturday, an area close to Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi's compound, said a government spokesman.

Libyan government spokesperson Mussa Ihbrahim said Saturday's "very powerful" attack killed three people.

Witnesses said earlier they heard jets flying over the city.
