Libya rebels say hit by coalition air strike
At least 10 rebels were killed by a coalition air strike on Friday, fighters at the scene said on Saturday, in an increasingly chaotic battle with Muammar Gaddafi's forces over the oil town of Brega."Some of Gaddafi's forces sneaked in among the rebels and fired anti-aircraft guns in the air," said rebel fighter Mustafa Ali Omar. "After that the NATO forces came and bombed them." Most rebels blamed a Gaddafi agent for deliberately drawing the friendly fire but some said other rebels had shot into the air by accident. "The rebels shot up in the air and the alliance came and bombed them. We are the ones who made the mistake," said one fighter who did not give his name. Posted by: Zebulon Thranter9685 2011-04-02 |
