A report from an eyewitness in a southwestern suburb of Tripoli described seeing 3 Chinook helicopters heading north towards the center of the city. The Chinooks passes 30 minutes before fixed wing jets started flying and the helicopters made several passes traveling southbound and northbound again, clearly dropping off something and loading up again. He said he heard fighter jets roaring and described them as making sharp turns from a distance several times, it seemed, over the same area. This would support other reports that the aircraft were targeting ammunitions depots within cities. The witness said that from a distance he could hear loud high calibre rounds being fired once every few seconds, as if one was taking aim, and then firing.
