AFP , Saturday 25 Jun 2011

Libyan state television said a NATO air strike on "civilian sites" in the eastern town of Brega killed 15 people and wounded more than 20.

"The colonialist crusader Atlantic coalition bombed civilian sites, among them a bakery and a restaurant in Brega, creating 15 martyrs and more than 20 wounded, among them regular clients of those places," the TV said.

The report, which did not say when the attack took place, referred to a NATO "war of extermination" and "crimes against humanity" in Libya.

In its daily operations report, the alliance said that on Friday it had targeted 35 objectives, including military vehicles and installations, in the Brega region.
Brega is a key refinery town 800 kilometres (500 miles) east of Tripoli and 240 kilometres southwest of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
