| NATO Denies Reports that Air Strikes Targeted North Korean Embassy in Libya |
| 2011-05-13 |
Over in Libya the North Korean embassy was reportedly struck during a NATO air strike in Tripoli on Thursday a charge that NATO has denied.
The heart (urp) bleeds...
State television network al-Jamahiriya TV said the air strikes which damaged military and civilian targets in the capital also included the North Korean embassy. Although the network reported major damage to the embassy NATO denied intentionally targeting the diplomatic complex calling the media reports untrue.
A NATO official went on to say that the embassy is located 500 meters away from their target and that they have gone to great lengths to reduce the possibility of collateral damage during their air raids.
Meanwhile just hours following his first television appearance since last month Moammar Gadhafi's Tripoli compound was bombed by NATO forces. |
