Several hundred residents of Tripoli today attended the funeral of thirteen persons, alleged victims of the bombing of the international coalition on the Libyan capital, although the identity of the deceased is hard to verify. As reported by CNN correspondent in Tripoli, Nick Robertson, several hundred people went to the cemetery of the Martyrs of the Libyan capital, where it was to bury the alleged victims, who were in thirteen coffins draped with green cloth, the color of regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
Libyan television provided live images of the ceremony in which the green banners and religious slogans were confused with the proclamations of support for Gadhafi. A priest led prayer surrounded by men who seconded his prayers for the "victims of the Crusaders in their colonialist aggression" as defined by state television and authorities in Tripoli the imposition of the no-fly zone over Libya adopted by the Security Council UN.
The Libyan authorities have imposed any restrictions to the international press invited to Tripoli and prevent journalists can compare for themselves the statements and information they offer. A group of journalists was conducted this morning at a hospital in the capital to show several charred bodies, but there was no way to verify their origin or their status as military or civilian.
