Libyans bury 9 men reportedly slain in NATO strike

None

Mourners vowed revenge and rattled off heavy gunfire in a Tripoli cemetery as they buried nine men they said were Muslim clerics and medics killed in a NATO airstrike in mostly rebel-held eastern Libya.

 

The Libyan government gave one account of why the men had traveled from the capital to the eastern front; a cleric at the funeral who said he witnessed the attack in the oil town of Brega gave a different version. (AP)
