NATO Airstrike Kills One of Gadhafi's Sons, 3 Grandchildren

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi survived a NATO air strike that killed his youngest son and three grandchildren and destroyed a Tripoli house, a Libyan government spokesman said on Saturday.

"What we have now is the law of the jungle," government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim told a news conference. "We think now it is clear to everyone that what is happening in Libya has nothing to do with the protection of civilians."

Gaddafi, who seized power in a 1969 coup, is fighting an uprising by rebels who have seized much of the eastern part of the country. British and French-led Nato forces are permitted under a United Nations resolution to attack Gaddafi forces to protect civilians.

There was no immediate NATO reaction or independent confirmation of the incident.

Libya's government took journalists to the house, which had been hit by at least three missiles. The roof had completely caved in in some areas, leaving mangled rods of reinforcing steel hanging down among chunks of concrete.

A table football machine stood outside in the garden of the house, which was in a wealthy residential area of Tripoli.

The blasts had been heard across the city late on Saturday. Rifle fire and car horns rang out in the rebels' eastern capital of Benghazi as news of the attack spread.

Authorities said Gaddafi's youngest son, Saif al-Arab, had been killed in the attack. Saif al-Arab is one of Gaddafi's less prominent sons, with a limited role in the Tripoli power structure.

Ibrahim said Saif al-Arab, 29, was a student who had studied in Germany.

"We will fight and fight if we have to," Ibrahim said. "The leader offered peace to Nato yesterday and Nato rejected it."

@mondocrat Yeah, we can see how they live, on TV. Like a slum. Bye.

@AmericanPowerBase , Libya didn't bomb Pan Am 103. It was the CIA and was proven. DO some damn research before talking out your ass.

[mondocrat]

@brainouty , you idiot. Libyans live better than Americans by far. Do some research or get off your know it all armchair quarterback ass and go to Tripoli! I've been there 4x!

@Rameen21 It's not double standards you idiot. NATO can not go into every middle east country as ex. bharain ,a conflict between sunni and shia.Russia blocks everything in UN on Syria. Russia has a history of protecting their weapons customers.

[Rameen21]

Egyptians, Tunisians, Bahrainese, Yemenes also beg US and NATO to take military action against their leaders -- why US and NATO did n't take action and why now they don't take action against Syria although Iran is revolutionary guard is right now killing innocent people there?

My point is to show you the double standard of US and NATO.

As I said they kill inncoent Afghan children while the centres and safe havens of terrorists are in Pakistan = Porkistan

The deaths of Gaddafi's youngest son and grandchildren were his own fault. He brought the uprising and the NATO strikes upon himself and his own family. He and his family get no sympathy from me.

[Rameen21]

War is war and we know Qaddafi like Taliban are criminals. But war should be based on legal and human prinipales not on lies and dishonesty. Nato started war to defend the interests of blood sucking oil companies like Shel, BP and turned an uprising to civil war.

In AFG they kill innocent children, farmers while US chief of staff and Gen Petaeus self are saying that terrorists are in Porkistan= Pakistan0- why instead of terror camps in Porkistan they kill innocent Afghan children ?
