It is clearly not Bab al-Azizia. The picture posted is a picture showing a propaganda poster situated between the International Fair of Tripoli and Afriqiyah Airways headquarter at Omar Mukthar Street. I do not have any picture of Bab al-Azizia unfortunately.

according to a reference site used on the wiki page on the Libyan National Salvation Front (LNSF), http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-8220.html An attack on the same place was done in 1984 by the Libyan National Salvation Front (LNSF). It should probably be included if it's deemed worthy as reference on the LNSF page... Nunamiut ( talk) 00:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

"According to revolutionary military official Major General Umar al-Hariri, the barracks are linked to underground tunnels up to 30 km (20 miles) long, some of which lead to the sea." Electron9 ( talk) 01:40, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
The 6-square-kilometre (2.3 sq mi) base[2] The compound is not that large. A look at any map will tell us that each side of the almost square compound measures about 3/4 of a kilometer and the total area is less than a square kilometer. The reference #2 says nothing about the size.Mirrordor 20:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrordor ( talk • contribs)
Sources still can be wrong, especially if all of them happen to use the same erroneous original source! This is not a matter of opinion but of common-sense and basic math. And you can measure the place yourself by using a map with scale again (Google map is quite adequate for the task); you will see that each side of the compound measures about 3/4 of a kilometer. Even that size is large enough to contain all the building and structures you mention. I live in USA now but as I came from Viet Nam, I am used to the metric system. --Mirrordor 07:25, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
