UK official says he cannot confirm reports that Libyan leader's family died in NATO airstrike
TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi survived a NATO air strike on a Tripoli house that killed his youngest son and three young grandchildren, a government spokesman said on Sunday.
Meanwhile, a British official said his government couldn't confirm reports that the Libyan leader's son, Saif al-Arab Gadhafi, 29, was killed in the strike.
"We've no verification of that at the moment. These are still unconfirmed reports. I'm afraid we don't know one way or the other," junior Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt told Sky News
when asked about a Libyan government statement that the air strike had killed Gadhafi's relatives.
Burt said command and control centers were "often placed in civilian areas by forces overseas."

Failure! Hit it again, and again!
This Sand bug cannot hide all the time.
We will hit him sooner or later and get rid of another one of SATAN'S Disciples.
Get out of there! We have no business in NATO or Kadaffy's civil war. Let NATO bumble there and make enemies that do not include the US.
BTW, the misspelling was on purpose
Wow. So, now the USA is complicit in the murder (attempted murder for now) of the head of a foreign state upon whom we have not declared war or even have a conflict with, huh? And I suppose the members of our government would be up in arms and outraged if the Mexican drug gangs shot a missile at the White House? Or Iran fired a missile at Washington? There's a good reason that we outlawed assassinations of foreign leaders. It tends to bite you in the ace. Keep that in mind. Further, if they (those middle eastern dictators) don't like someone in their circle of killers, then let THEM do something about it. NOT the USA.
