NATO killed 11 imams in their sleep

Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi rooji'uun. May Allah SWT grant them jannah.

ELEVEN Muslim clerics in Libya have been killed in their sleep by a NATO airstrike on the eastern oil town of Brega, a government spokesman says. The spokesman says the clerics were among a large group of imams who had gathered in Brega to pray for peace in conflict-ridden Libya.

He said 11 imams were killed on Friday and 50 people wounded, including five in critical condition.

There was no immediate comment from NATO, which has been intensifying airstrikes in many parts of Libya against troops and installations of Muammar Gaddafi's regime in a bid to weaken his campaign against a rebel uprising.

One of the recent strikes hit Gaddafi's main compound in Tripoli, the capital, and more strikes were carried out Friday.

Libya's government said 11 Muslim religious leaders on a peace mission were killed early Friday in an airstrike by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the contested coastal city of Brega. The account couldn't be verified, but it prompted a Libyan cleric to call on the world's Muslims to kill in revenge.

Where's that trumble etc now who taunted me for saying that the western countries would get actively militarily involved in Libya after the Obama's Libya speech?
