NATO Denies Reports that Air Strikes Targeted North Korean Embassy in Libya

Over in Libya the North Korean embassy was reportedly struck during a NATO air strike in Tripoli on Thursday a charge that NATO has denied. State television network al-Jamahiriya TV said the air strikes which damaged military and civilian targets in the capital also included the North Korean embassy.

Although the network reported major damage to the embassy NATO denied intentionally targeting the diplomatic complex calling the media reports untrue.

A NATO official went on to say that the embassy is located 500 meters away from their target and that they have gone to great lengths to reduce the possibility of collateral damage during their air raids. Meanwhile just hours following his first television appearance since last month Moammar Gadhafi's Tripoli compound was bombed by NATO forces.

Was NK conducting some military operation on behalf of Libya? During NATO bombing campaign in the former Yugoslavia in late 90's, Chinese embassy in Belgrade was said to have helped Serbia track U.S. stealth planes, and bombed by NATO planes (allegedly by mistake.) So I have to wonder what the real story is about this event.

They either hit it intentionally or they cant hit the target. Russia/China et al should be fielding potential jamming equipment by now for testing.
