Adam Schreck and Hadeel Al-SHALCHI:Libya Says NATO hits Residential Area!

The Libyan government accused NATO of bombing a residential neighborhood in the capital and killing civilians early Sunday, adding t its charges that the "alliance" is striking nonmilitary targets. At least four people, including two children, were reportedly killed. It was not possible to independently verify the government's account of what happened, and NATO said it was "investigating", though they might have meant: Covering up the incident, to look good for the world's press. Whether they are eventually confirmed or not, the allegations are likely to provide supporters of Moammar Gadhafi's regime a fresh rallying point against the international intervention in Libya's civil war. Shortly after the strikes early Sunday, journalists based in the Libyan capital were rushed by government officials to the destroyed building, which appeared to have been partially under construction. Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim wasn't able to provide the number of casualties, but said there were no military facilities anywhere near the damaged building. Journalists at the scene were later taken to a hospital, where they were shown at least four people said to have been killed in the strike, including two young children."There was intentional and deliberate targeting of the civilian houses," said deputy foreign minister Khaled Kaim during a visit to the site shortly after reporters arrived. "This is another sign of the brutality of the West." Libya's Health Ministry says 856 civilians have been killed in NATO airstrikes since they began in March, but the figure could not be independently confirmed.
