NATO investigates report of coalition airstrike on Libyan rebels

[9:42 a.m. ET]  Coalition airstrikes have hit several rebel vehicles, a spokesman for the Libyan opposition said Saturday. Jamal al-Gallal said the opposition was looking into reports that some rebel fighters were killed.

[9:13 a.m. ET] NATO is investigating a report that a coalition airstrike in the eastern oil town of al-Brega hit Libyan opposition rebels, a NATO spokeswoman said Saturday.

"NATO takes any reports of civilian casualties very seriously, but exact details are hard to verify as we have no reliable sources on the ground," NATO's Oana Lungescu said. "Clearly, if someone fires at one of our aircraft, of course they have the right to defend themselves."

      Sorry folks,I didn't post the above. The only thing that concerns NATO is it's PR. Actually NATO has no right to be in Libya at all. Here again one sees the Axis of Evil (the U.S.,Great Britain and France) at work!

  8. when you realize

    The identification of bad guys should be simple. They ride in tanks, wear uniforms and march in formation.
    So, do not rain down high explosives on the guys wearing turbans and t-shirts. They will have what appear to be machine guns mounted in the back of pickups. The infantry will be carrying plastic rifles.

      Great idea, but now Ghadafi has his soldiers dressing as rebels. What a crafty little man!
