Libya Accuses NATO of Bombing Civilians

The incident comes after NATO's accidental airstrike on a rebel column on Thursday.

The Libyan government is accusing NATO of bombing a residential neighbourhood in Tripoli, killing several civilians. Although NATO says a surface-to-air site in northern Tripoli was successfully hit overnight, it is not confirming whether a civilian area was hit by mistake. The alliance has previously admitted mistakes in its targeting. A BBC correspondent was taken to the site by government officials and witnessed two bodies being removed from the debris. The correspondent also reported that the damage looked like the aftermath of an airstrike, and did not look like a government stunt. The incident comes after NATO's accidental airstrike on a rebel column near the town of Brega on Thursday.
