NATO strike in Tripoli kills 9 civilians, Libya government says

NATO admitted its aircraft mistakenly hit

vehicles aligned with the Libyan opposition

in the eastern oil city of al-Brega.

A NATO strike hit a residential neighborhood in Tripoli on Sunday, killing at least nine people and injuring six, Libya's government claimed.
"This is cold-blooded murder," government spokesman Musa Ibrahim said at the scene in Tripoli. "Is this the protection of civilians? Is this really the search for peace and democracy in the Libya, to attack peaceful neighborhoods of Tripoli?"
NATO said it was looking into the allegations and takes them "very seriously indeed."
