Chavez: Libya airstrikes leaving civilian victims

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez condemned what he called "indiscriminate bombing" by the US and its allies in Libya, saying Sunday that the assault is causing civilian casualties.

Chavez, who has long-standing ties to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, demanded the airstrikes be halted and echoed claims of civilian victims by the Libyan government, which said 48 people were killed. (AP)
