Gaddafi Regime: Civilian Casualties in U.S.-Led Strikes 
--------------------------------------------------------



The Gaddafi regime continues to claim the U.S.-led bombing campaign has
killed scores of civilians. A Libyan government spokesperson said around
100 civilians have died in Western airstrikes and accused the U.S.-led
coalition of seeking to bomb non-military targets including phone towers
and broadcasting stations.

Musa Ibrahim: "These are civilian targets, broadcasting whether it's
radio or TV, communications whether it's phones or other uses, are all
civilian and they are for the good of the Libyan nation. But we are
getting close to a hundred (killed civilians) that is for sure. I have
asked the minister of health to be with you tomorrow, he is an extremely
busy man and I can understand why."
