A Libyan sought damages against Nato in a Belgian civil court yesterday, accusing the alliance of killing his wife and three children in an air strike, his lawyer said yesterday.
Khaled Hemidi says his wife and children were killed in a bombing west of Tripoli on June 20 that had targetted his father, Khuwildi Hemidi, who is close to the regime of Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi and escaped unharmed.
Nato said at the time that warplanes had struck a high-level command and control centre in Sorman, 70 kilometres from Tripoli.
The regime charged that 15 people, including three children, were killed, but Nato insisted that the target was of military nature and that it goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties.
