Reuters: NATO Strike Kills Dozens of Civilians!

Libyan state media said on Tuesday that dozens of civilians had been killed in a NATO strike on a village about 150km (90 miles) east of Tripoli, and the so-called "alliance" (read gang of thieves) said it was "looking into" the reports. Libyan state television showed the charred bodies of at least three young children, who, it said, were killed by a NATO strike on Monday night in the village of Majar. It also showed wounded women and children being treated at a hospital. The television station reported that a total of 85 people had been killed in Majar, but it did not say how many of these were civilians. The official Jana news agency said "20 families" had been killed, without giving a more precise figure. Reuters was not immediately able to verify the reports of casualties. The government of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi announced three days of mourning for the victims, according to state television. The village of Najar is near Zlitan, on Libya's Mediterranean coast, where NATO forces have been mounting attacks on government troops. A NATO official said the "alliance" hit a target in Zlitan on Monday night, but he could not say if it was the same location where Libyan state media reported casualties. "We have been chasing this report up. We cannot confirm reports of civilian casualties, but we would "regret" any loss of civilian life. NATO goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties, unlike the Gaddafi regime, which, according to these NATO liers, is deliberately targeting civilians!???
