Summary A NATO strike on the eastern city of Brega killed at least 16 civilians at a guest house.
At least 16 people were killed and up to 40 were wounded, it said. It showed footage of at least nine bodies with multiple wounds, wrapped in blankets at an unknown location. A local man on the scene said rescuers were still pulling out bodies.This is residential area number one in Al Brega. We were surprised this morning by NATO airstrikes attacking this guest-house, which was hosting civilian guests who were reciting the Koran. They were hosting a celebration because they had finished reciting the Koran. We were shocked by these aggressive airstrikes. The number of people who were killed is 16 and approximately 30 were injured. Some of the bodies are under the remains. We condemn strongly these aggressive attacks, he said.
