Of course it is vaguely possible that when you blow-up an apartment block and collapse a hotel a couple people might be hurt. But these strikes are only aimed at all the surface to air missiles that were missed by the 20,000 other bombing sorties.

Nato strikes 'kill 354', says Gaddafi's spokesman



By Kim Sengupta outside Bani Walid

Nato air strikes during Friday night killed a total of 354 people in the loyalist stronghold of Sirte, Colonel Gaddafi's birthplace, the former spokesman for the Libyan regime claimed yesterday.

The bombing of the city's main hotel and an apartment block left 700 injured with 89 others missing, according to Moussa Ibrahim, who is believed to be in the city currently under siege from rebel forces. There were no independent means to verify the report, with Sirte effectively cut off since Gaddafi was overthrown.
