Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: LN021)
One child was possibly injured in a NATO airstrike on Tripoli.
A video report uploaded by Adam Nafusa says that the government had claimed the child was injured by an airstrike, while a hospital worker insisted they had been injured in a car accident.
Reuters also said it had learned from a hospital staff member that the child was injured in an accident.
NATO itself and other sources only reported airstrikes on Tripoli but no civilian harm.
Throughout the whole 2011 NATO intervention some independent monitors assessed that the Gaddafi regime had routinely fabricated civilian harm allegations.
