A military missile site was the intended target of the strike but one weapon could not be accounted for, Nato said, admitting there may have been a weapons system failure. The air strike is thought to have been carried out by French jets.

Nine people, including a mother and father and at least two toddlers, died in the blast at a three-storey building, Libyan officials said. Journalists saw the body of a woman removed from the rubble in the early hours of yesterday and the bodies of casualties at a hospital.

"Protecting civilians!"

(Guess civilians in Syria don't matter?)

Robert Gates warns Congress not to cut off Libya funds!


Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned Congress on Sunday not to cut off funding for U.S. military involvement in Libya and predicted that the operation targeting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces will "end OK."

Lawmakers question the legality of President Barack Obama's continued use of the U.S. military in Libya without the approval of Congress.

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, last week said Congress could cut funding for U.S. military involvement in Libya, ratcheting up pressure on Obama.​
