NATO Admits Missile Hit a Civilian Home in Tripoli; rebel leader to visit China
NATO has confirmed that an airstrike may have caused civilian loss of life during a raid on Tripoli, in which the Libyan government claimed 9 people were killed.
NATO spokeperson Mike Bracken，
"The intended target during last night's air strike in Tripoli was a military missile site. However, from our initial assessment of the facts it appears that one weapon did not strike the intended target due to a weapons systems failure. This technical favour may have caused a number of civilian casualties. NATO regrets the loss of innocent civilian lives and takes great care in conducting strikes against a regime determined to use violence against its own citizens."
Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry says Chairman of the Libyan opposition National Transitional Council Mahmoud Jibril will pay a visit to China from Tuesday.
