NATO Offers No Apology for Airstrike on Rebel Tanks

ZUEITINA, Libya — NATO said on Friday that it would not apologize for the killing of at least four people in what Libyan rebels said was “likely” a mistaken attack on them by allied warplanes in the east of the country — the second case of friendly-fire deaths in a week. The commander of the rebel army fighting to oust Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi said on Thursday that the target of what he called “a fierce attack” from the air was a column of tanks deployed to the front lines by the insurgents for the first time. http://nyti.ms/hiEDaR
