For the second time in less than a week, the Forces Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bombed by mistake Libyan rebels near the eastern oil city of Brega, killing several insurgents. The number of fatalities differs because the Arab network Al Arabiya said at least 50 rebels dead, the Qatari television station Al Jazeera speaks of only five and wounding 10, while the BBC and the Italian news agency ANSA quoted 13 deaths.
The airstrike on the outskirts of Port Brega oil is the second of NATO against the rebel forces in less than a week, which reveals the lack of coordination with the military alliance to stop the troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi . Just last Saturday, some 17 members of the rebel forces that circulated to board a bus for the route between Brega to Ajdabiya killed in another attack by NATO aircraft.
Thursday's attack occurs 24 hours after the military leader of the opposition National Transitional Council (CNT), Abdel Fattah Younes, criticized the effectiveness of NATO and praised the bombing of''inadequate.'' Four days ago, the rebels launched an offensive to control Brega and managed to take some of that city and the oil port, but the day before had to retreat to near the neighboring city of Ajdabiya due to counter the forces of Gadhafi.
After heavy fighting, the rebels were driven almost entirely from the strategic city by the forces of Gadhafi, superior to them in arms, preparation and troop. After his setback, insurgents seeking to regain ground on Thursday in the city of Brega, where the main fighting focused in recent days.
NATO, led by the United States, Britain and France launched a bombing campaign against Libya in response to resolution 1973 the Security Council of the United Nations to impose an air exclusion zone and allegedly to protect civilians. Meanwhile, planes were not identified on Thursday flew over Tripoli, where three explosions were heard in the suburbs east of the city, witnesses reported, while NATO forces bombed Gadhafi positions in the city of Misurata.
Forces loyal to the Libyan leader, meanwhile, launched an attack Thursday against the city of Ajdabiya, located 160 km west of Benghazi, the stronghold of the rebels, reports Al Jazeera. The Libyan regime's troops also bombed two oil fields controlled by the opposition in eastern Libya, so the production Misla camps and the oasis of Waha had to be suspended.
Regarding the attack Sarir oil field, the largest in Libya, a company official denied the Arabian Gulf that the British Air Force was responsible and blamed the bombing on forces loyal to Gadhafi. NATO also denied that its forces have bombed the Sarir oil field, as reported by the Libyan government, and considers that this shows how desperate''''is the Gadhafi regime.
Libyan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Khaled Kaim, reported last night that British planes carried out an air strike on the site of Sarir, killing three guards of the site and other field employees were injured.
