Remember The Cvilian Victims Of Past 'Allied' Bombing Campaigns By Robert Fisk http://countercurrents.org/fisk210311.htm

Raafat-al-Ghosain: "She was intact, her hair undisturbed, and a small streak of blood coming from the top of her head"How life past catches up with life present. The Americans killed Raafat al-Ghosain, puctured above, just after 2am on 15 April 1986. In the days that followed her death, United States officials claimed that Libyan anti-aircraft fire might have hit her home – watch out for similar American claims in the coming hours – not far from the French embassy in suburban Tripoli. But three weeks later, the Pentagon admitted that three bombs dropped from an F-111 aircraft as part of the US attack on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, in reprisal for an attack by Libyan agents on a Berlin nightclub, had "impacted in the vicinity of the French embassy" and had caused – to use the usual callous euphemism – "collateral damage".
