00:05.840 --> 00:07.729
This used to be one of many large

00:07.729 --> 00:09.673
weapons dumps set up under the old

00:09.673 --> 00:11.562
regime placed in a Tripoli suburb

00:11.562 --> 00:13.673
called in Zara , it was targeted by a

00:13.673 --> 00:16.510
NATO airstrike . NATO dropped leaflets

00:16.510 --> 00:18.566
like this one as a warning informing

00:18.566 --> 00:20.399
Gaddafi forces to put down their

00:20.399 --> 00:22.510
weapons , stop fighting and leave the

00:22.510 --> 00:24.621
area . Civilians generally understood

00:24.621 --> 00:26.677
these as an indication that the area

00:26.677 --> 00:28.788
was going to be targeted , especially

00:28.788 --> 00:31.066
with the military compound in the area .

00:31.066 --> 00:35.050
We were expecting NATO to strike this

00:35.050 --> 00:38.250
location with Gaddafi's forces came and

00:38.250 --> 00:40.850
collected the warning leaflets so we

00:40.850 --> 00:42.794
didn't know the exact night of the

00:42.794 --> 00:44.960
strike . Nadia explains that when the

00:44.960 --> 00:46.960
strike finally did come , it wasn't

00:46.960 --> 00:48.571
heavy handed , which brought

00:48.571 --> 00:50.793
appreciation for the way it was carried

00:50.793 --> 00:54.670
out . The first strike gave a

00:54.670 --> 00:56.950
warning to the residents so

00:56.960 --> 00:59.260
automatically they left their houses .

00:59.600 --> 01:02.450
As a result , there were no accidents .

01:03.210 --> 01:05.488
NATO has always stressed its precision ,

01:05.488 --> 01:07.599
but accidents happen . It said that a

01:07.599 --> 01:09.821
weapon malfunctioned , causing a strike

01:09.821 --> 01:12.099
to miss its intended target in Tripoli .

01:12.099 --> 01:14.321
This man refers to a separate strike in

01:14.321 --> 01:16.543
another area of Tripoli . The house was

01:16.543 --> 01:18.654
bombed , believed to be a hideout for

01:18.654 --> 01:22.520
Gaddafi's operatives . NATO

01:22.520 --> 01:24.576
admitted the wrong things they did ,

01:25.240 --> 01:27.462
such as what happened in Al Gore , arad

01:27.462 --> 01:29.890
area , Al garage , The house ,

01:31.540 --> 01:34.670
God forgive them their faults after

01:34.670 --> 01:37.120
that . Nothing else went wrong . The

01:37.120 --> 01:38.842
bombing here resulted in large

01:38.842 --> 01:41.009
secondary explosions throwing shrapnel

01:41.009 --> 01:43.064
out into surrounding shops , but the

01:43.064 --> 01:45.176
locals don't feel the blame lies with

01:45.176 --> 01:47.540
the alliance . I blame the government .

01:47.550 --> 01:49.950
I don't blame NATO NATO was striking

01:49.950 --> 01:52.160
military targets . So a government

01:52.160 --> 01:54.049
should have informed us that this

01:54.049 --> 01:55.980
location was a target . The North

01:55.980 --> 01:58.147
Atlantic council recently extended the

01:58.147 --> 02:00.369
mission to protect civilians in Libya ,

02:00.369 --> 02:02.313
although keeping it under constant

02:02.313 --> 02:04.536
review . In the meantime , the National

02:04.536 --> 02:06.591
transitional Council moves closer to

02:06.591 --> 02:08.536
finishing the final chapter of the

02:08.536 --> 02:10.647
Gaddafi regime . This is NATO channel

02:10.647 --> 02:11.250
reporting from Tripoli .
