Coalition air strike hits Libya rebels, 13 dead

The strike killed 13 rebels and wounded seven, rebel leadership spokesman Hafiz Ghoga said, calling it a "regrettable incident". "The military leadership is working on ways to prevent a recurrence," Ghoga told reporters at the rebel headquarters in the eastern city of Benghazi. Rebels at the scene said the bombing happened around 10 p.m. local time (2000 GMT) on Friday. Another rebel spokesman, Mustafa Gheriani, told Reuters the leadership still wanted and needed allied air strikes. "You have to look at the big picture. Mistakes will happen. We are trying to get rid of Gaddafi and there will be casualties, although of course it does not make us happy."

Is this a deliberate 'mistake' in order to give a sense of impartiality? Were the rebels threatening civilians, as they did "door-to-door" in Sirte the first day they took, and lost that city (just as Gadhafi threatened to do in Benghazi.. but didn't.. hypocrisy much?) in which case NATO would be carrying out UN Res 1973 accurately? One vehicle was an ambulance (Channel 4 News) so I doubt this.
