Libyan rebels ‘killed in NATO air strike’
Rebels in eastern Libya say their forces have been mistakenly hit in a NATO air raid. Doctors in Ajdabiya told the BBC at least 13 rebel fighters had been killed by the strike on a rebel tank position. It is the third such incident in recent days involving international forces deployed to protect Libyan civilians. Anchor Marco Werman gets the latest from CBC reporter Derek Stoffel in rebel-held Ajdabiya.
