NATO spokeswoman Carmen Romero said Sunday that the report of deaths in an overnight airstrike in Tripoli, including a son of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, remains unconfirmed."We targeted a military command and control building with a precision strike," Romero said. "It was not targeted against any individual. It was a military target, clearly linked to the Gadhafi's regime's systematic attacks on the civilian population."
The grandkids live in a military command and control building? Sure they do.
[Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt] command and control centers were "often placed in civilian areas by forces overseas."
Then that would be okay, wouldn’t it.
Journalists taken to the walled complex of one-story buildings saw heavy bomb damage.[...]
The attack struck the house of one of Gadhafi's younger sons, Saif al-Arab, when the Libyan leader and his wife were inside, said Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim. Saif al-Arab, 29, and three of Gadhafi's grandchildren, all younger than 12, were killed.
Reportedly, the Fashionista and wife were not killed.
When news of the deadly strike spread, rebels honked horns and chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) while speeding through the western city of Misrata
Isn’t he though?
It is the second airstrike in seven days to hit a location intimately close to the Libyan leader, following a midnight attack last week that destroyed an office building in his compound where he and his aides sometimes work.
This couldn’t possibly be attempts to assassinate El Fashionista, could it? No, no. We’re just “protecting Libyan civilians.”
American and NATO officials have said they are not seeking to kill Colonel Qaddafi, [... but] frustrated by the evasion and resilience of Colonel Qaddafi’s military, NATO has pledged to step up its strikes on the broader instruments of his power, including state television facilities and command centers in the capital.
To “protect Libyan civilians,” of course.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
