Libya, "the rais use cluster bombs on civilians," but denies Tripoli. New Born raid

The humanitarian organization HumanRights Watch (HRW) has confirmed that government forces loyal to the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have used cluster bombs against the city of Misurata, but the charge was denied by an official spokesman in Tripoli. The news was released yesterday by the New York Times, which published a letter which he has sent to the port city controlled by insurgents and besieged for over a month.

Meanwhile this morning, NATO planes bombed Sirte, considered a stronghold of the Colonel. Said on Libyan state television, quoting military sources in Tripoli. Yesterday, coalition aircraft bombed military targets in the Libyan Sirte. "Sirte has undergone a further bombardment by the Crusaders.

Each missile (which hit Libya, ed) was paid by the governments of Qatar and the Emirates, "he told the broadcaster of Tripoli BY RAIS CLUSTER BOMBS ON CIVILIANS - In a statement posted on its website, says HRW at least three unexploded munitions, allegedly fired a mortar, were seen exploding in the night between Thursday and Friday in the district of El Shawahda some of his players on the field.

They have also learned from a reliable source of two other devices of this type, exploded in two other districts in the night between Thursday ee always Friday. 'It's really reprehensible that Libya should make use of such weapons in areas resideniali said Steve Goose, head of armaments humanitarian organization.

In Tripoli, a spokesman for the Libyan government, Mussa Ibrahim, however, denied. "Never use such weapons against the Libyan people - told reporters - plus the world is watching us and we would never do such a thing." "THE MISSING NATO precision bombs" - Less than one month of the mission of no-fly zone in Libya, NATO is getting low on stocks of precision bombs, as well as suffer the lack of an adequate number of hunting for missions.

E 'as the Alliance and American sources reveal that highlight how this shows the limits that Britain, France and other European countries in supporting a military mission, moreover, be limited for an extended period of time. Faced with the lack of precision bombs - all the more necessary to ensure that airstrikes can be as surgical - is questioning the fact that the U.S.

may still remain in the "supporting role" in which Barack Obama American withdrew after the handover of command of the operation to NATO. After participating extensively in the early stages of the mission, U.S. forces are now described by the NATO summit in a position of "standby" kept constantly informed of the situation on the ground.

And even if you have not received any formal request from NATO command in this sense, many U.S. officials believe that may soon be called to participate actively in the mission.
