NATO intensified the bombing today against the port and a residential leader Muammar Gaddafi in the capital, Libyan state television reported.

Official sources said that Libyan planes Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conducted military raids early Sunday against the harbor of Tripoli, where five ships sank Thursday in another bombing.

That same day, the aircraft also attacked the Western powers ports and Al-Khums Sirte (this) that destroyed or severely damaged three other vessels alleged military.

Since Saturday night and this morning we heard several explosions and flush fly fighter jets through the city, including the Bab Al-Aziziyah, where Gaddafi has one of his residences in downtown Tripoli.

A spokesman said that in that raid wounded four people, but failed to elaborate on the extent of the injury.

Many foreign correspondents attempt to verify the extent of the NATO attacks, but the danger of further incursions prompted authorities to prevent access, as one commentator explained public channel Al Jamahiriya.

In recent weeks, NATO has launched air strikes against systematic main city of Libya in an attempt increasingly evident to annihilate Gaddafi, though his spokesman reiterated that his aim is only to protect civilians.

During an attack the house several weeks ago the youngest son of Libyan leader, in the vicinity of Bab Al-Aziziyah, were killed and three grandchildren while the ruler himself and his wife, who were in the house, were unhurt, according to the Government.

The attackers also fired on Sunday against positions of the regular Army combat armed insurgents in regions west of the country's mountainous border with Tunisia, which led to the neighboring country to raise the military alert level along the common border.

According to sources in television and the official news agency JANA, NATO seeks to expand its campaign with the aim of weakening the government air strikes on command centers of the desert and sea patrols to intercept boats.

Meanwhile, the American former congressman Cynthia McKinney, who was invited by an NGO to monitor the situation in Libya, said "the last thing you need to do is spend money on death, destruction and war."

"I think it's very important that people understand what is happening here, and everyone see the truth," said Republican exlegisladora last night on state television.

Former Foreign Minister, Armando Loayza, lamented that the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, has issued statements on the subject extreme sea, coming to erode the bargaining process by threatening to "enforce" the 1904 treaty by which Bolivia lost sovereign access to the Pacific.

Piñera, in his message during the holiday of "Navy Day", said there are no outstanding issues with Bolivia on the maritime theme and that his government will respect the 1904 Treaty

"Trust and bilateral developments between the two countries in recent months, reaching inflexible positions, something that brings to mind moments of tension in the past, so that mutual trust is slowly destroying," said former foreign minister Loayza.

ENDS

For former State authority, Piñera message confirms again the Chilean position, "where the 1904 treaty is considered as the main instrument governing Chilean Bolivian relations after the Pacific War, a treaty that allowed us We peek with sovereignty in the region of Arica, but nine years after the treaty, Bolivia comes to cede their sovereignty, "he said.

Loayza said the path of negotiations should continue and described these reactions as extreme as the ads to appeal to international courts. "A position that is considered as a constructive, which was not allowed to resume international relations and the same time remain fractured, something that could make it difficult to resume the pending negotiations on the bilateral agenda, as is called the 13-point Agenda."

"Chile takes an inflexible position regarding the treaty and Bolivia takes a position that is not new, referring to international demand, which was raised 90 years ago when it sought to assume a position of reviewing the 1904 treaty, but had no success, so that both parties should reflect on the actions to be taken, "said former authority of international relations.

IRRECONCILABLE

To return to former Chancellor extreme positions by the presidents of Chile and Bolivia, are irreconcilable positions, "it becomes very difficult to re-build what was advanced in 12 years, when defining the agenda, except under the procedure for initiating a conversation to discuss the maritime theme, because Bolivia is far from adequate to raise the legal position to present the international demand to an International Court in The Hague, by the time it takes, "he said.

BREACH OF TREATY

It is recalled that several provisions of the 1904 Treaty were not fulfilled by Chile as cited in Article III and Article VI of the railroad Arica - La Paz or commercial facilities to Bolivia. "The Republic of Chile recognized in favor of that of Bolivia and in perpetuity, the largest free trade transit rights through its territory and Pacific ports. Both Governments agree, in special events, appropriate regulation to ensure, without prejudice to their respective revenue interests, the purpose mentioned above. "

PIÑERA

The president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, said yesterday that his country has no border disputes with Bolivia and held pending the decision of President Evo Morales, to go to international courts to sue a sovereign outlet to the Pacific, lost in a turf war in 1879 , is a serious obstacle to bilateral relations.

Piñera said his country has agreed to Bolivia a mechanism for dialogue on 13 points of interest of both countries aimed at achieving concrete solutions, useful and feasible for both countries "and its effectiveness has been recognized both by Chile as Bolivia. "

"This treaty has guaranteed 106 years of peace between Chile and Bolivia. We have an agreed mechanism for dialogue on 13 points of interest of both countries aimed at achieving concrete solutions, useful and feasible for both countries and their effectiveness has been recognized by both Chile and Bolivia, "he said.

Piñera's words are the first official response to the new maritime strategy Bolivian raised on 23 March this year, when Bolivian President Evo Morales announced that the State will resort to international courts to make an effective demand for a return to the coast Pacific with sovereignty. The Constitution states in Article 267 that the right of territorial sovereignty is inalienable and must be the basis for any bilateral negotiations with Chile.

MISAPPROPRIATION

On the other hand, for official acts performed in Chile and transmitted by television networks in the country, was evident once again that the Bolivian dances are appropriate wrongly as it happened this time with the original Tinku Potosi.

It is not the first time that Chile has in a Bolivian dance events, as in the sadly remembered Festival de Viña del Mar this year when the group Calle 13 took the stage a kind of mixed rhythms and costumes from Bolivia, but with emblems of the neighboring country.

The sources explained that a parked car bomb exploded as a patrol of U.S. forces and moments later a suicide bomber wearing an explosives belt attacked the police who rushed to the scene.

The Iraqi police casualties are counted, while it is unknown so far whether there have been injuries or deaths among the U.S. military.

Security forces cordoned off the blast site to allow ambulances to transfer the victims.

This attack adds to the string of attacks this morning in different parts of Baghdad.

In these, at least six Iraqis died and 53 others were injured in ten attacks with explosive devices and two car bombs, which now total 13 killed in the day today.
