The NATO strike in Tripoli killed 9 people according to the Libya government.Bodies were pulled from a badly damaged three-story house after the alleged raid in the Souk al-Juma district.
If it is confirmed that the NATO planes did indeed bomb a civilian area by mistake, but serious questions are being raised about the conduct of the military campaign in Libya.
It is enforcing a UN resolution to defend Libyans from pro-Gaddafi forces. NATO says that a surface-to-air missile site in northern Tripoli was successfully hit overnight, but it has previously admitted mistakes in targeting. I picked this post because it was just plan out convenient.
Great story Sarah!
ReplyDeleteMy question is this... Do you think this happens often when we use air strikes? Not just in Libya but in other places like Pakistan where we use Drone strikes? What does this do to our reputation? How does this make people feel about NATO or the US (who are trying to help them)?
Need a little more of your input for this story? What did it make you think about? Why did you pick this one? Have you been following what's going on in Libya?
