| Libyan regime claims civilian deaths | |
| From: AlJazeeraEnglish | 24 Mar 2011 At a coastal graveyard, Al Jazeera witnessed what the Libyan government claimed was a burial for those who had died across Tripoli, the capital, during the previous night's air strikes. A crowd of around 1,500 people gathered to mourn the dead and criticise the international community - France in particular - for their UN-sanctioned campaign against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his military. But the details were confusing: Despite the presence of 33 coffins, funeral organisers said only 18 bodies were buried, and the graves had been dug days earlier - for a funeral already held on Sunday. Whether coalition air strikes have killed and injured soldiers or civilians remains unknown. Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught reports from Tripoli. | |
