LONDON (Reuters) — NATO admitted it carried out an air strike that killed civilians in Tripoli on Sunday.

“Although we are still determining the specifics of this event, indications are that a weapons system failure may have caused this incident,” said Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard, Commander of Operation Unified Protector in a statement.

NATO said a military missile site was the intended target of the air strikes and acknowledged the civilian casualties.

Early on Sunday Libyan officials took reporters to a residential area in Tripoli’s Souq al-Juma district where the reporters saw several bodies being pulled out of the rubble of a destroyed building.

Later, in a hospital, they were shown the bodies of two children and three adults who, officials said, were among those killed in the strike.
