Libya: 7 civilians killed by Nato air raid on Tripoli

Libyan Government sources said 7 civilians were killed in a Nato airstrike on Tripoli Sunday.

A number of journalists were taken by government officials to a residential area in the Arada district (East Tripoli) where they saw a dead body pulled from the rubble of a building that seemed to be under construction.

"There was intentional and deliberate targeting of the civilian houses," deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim told reporters at the site.

"This is another sign of the brutality of the West."

At a local hospital, reporters were shown three bodies, including a child, which government officials said were people killed in the air strike.

"Basically, this is another night of murder, terror and horror in Tripoli caused by NATO," government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told reporters at the hospital.
