ROME (Reuters) - At least 40 civilians have been killed in air strikes by Western forces on Tripoli, the top Vatican official in the Libyan capital told a Catholic news agency on Thursday, quoting witnesses.
"The so-called humanitarian raids have killed dozens of civilian victims in some neighborhoods of Tripoli," said Giovanni Innocenzo Martinelli, the Apostolic Vicar of Tripoli.
"I have collected several witness accounts from reliable people. In particular, in the Buslim neighborhood, due to the bombardments, a civilian building collapsed, causing the death of 40 people," he told Fides, the news agency of the Vatican missionary arm.
Libyan officials have taken foreign reporters to the sites of what they say were the aftermath of Western air strikes on Tripoli but evidence of civilian casualties has been inconclusive.

Repub pres = massacre. Dem president = no confirmed evidence. I'm sure Peter Arnett is going to get right on this.....
Sounds like a good start.
Oh, but it’s different now. These people were happy to die for the Great Obama and his Magic Ummah.
which cemetery did they drag the bodies out of?
Obama hates Arabs should be the new mantra, then, right?
War criminal president!
Libya was not involved in 9/11!
Give the UN inspectors a chance!
(I’m sure there are many many more lefty arguments from Iraq we can use here)
Cue ‘Green Helmet”, the “Baby Milk Factory” etc.
Cue ‘Green Helmet”, the “Baby Milk Factory” etc.
An almost endless supply.
In wars, civilians unfortunately are killed. We don’t fight battles with European 18th Century field tactics - unfortuantely.
But when you balance the number of civilians killed in stopping Khadaffy’s forces with those who would be killed if they were not, its a no-brainer, unless, of course, one is a pacifist, as apaprently the Catholic Church hierarchy, or at least some of it, has become, joining too many of their Protestatn bretheren.
Too bad the Catholic CHurch lacks a modern day Pope Urban II.
"That is why I say that a diplomatic solution is the principal way to put an end to the spilling of blood among Libyans, offering Gaddafi a dignified exit," he said.
Not going to make Bishop Martinelli very popular with Muammar!
Somethng is not right. Where are the pictures?
I don’t deny there will be civilian casualties in any conflict. However, my point is the Left made every incident a war crime under Bush. This will probably not get a passing mention from them.
Barry Sotero lied...people died.
“Obama lied, people died!!!!”
To be consistent, pictures must include a disney stuffed animal or barbie doll in the rubble.
How's it feel now Obama?
You won’t hear the libs using the word “Chickenhawk” either. Remember the are the reality based ones.
I’m convinced. Get our troops out of there today.
