It seems that NATO forces may have struck some opposition near Brega, what is your reaction?
This is a very unfortunate incident and I strongly regret the loss of life. I also have
to say that the situation on the ground is very fluid. We have seen in the past that
tanks have been used by the Gaddafi regime to attack civilians.
We are conducting operations in Libya in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution with
the aim to protect civilians. This is also the reason why our aircrafts target military
equipment that could be used to attack civilians, but I can assure you that we do our utmost
to avoid civilian casualties.
