NATO uncertain whether Gaddafi alive or dead

NATO said overnight that it did not know if Muammar Gaddafi was alive or dead but insisted one of its heaviest nights of bombardments was not aimed at killing the Libyan despot.

"All NATO targets are military targets, which means that the targets we have been hitting, and it happened also last [Monday] night in Tripoli, are command and control bunkers," Brigadier General Claudio Gabellini was quoted as saying by AFP. "NATO is not targeting individuals."

Asked whether Mr Gaddafi was still alive, the Italian said, "We don't have any evidence. We don't know what Ghadafi is doing right now. To tell you the truth, we are not really interested in what he's doing. Our mandate is to protect civilians from attacks or from the threats of attacks, so we are not looking after individuals".

... The bombardment came hours after NATO leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned that time was running out for the Libyan leader, who he said "should realise sooner rather than later that there's no future for him or his regime".

The gloves are off. I'm not exactly sure what the legal status of Nato is in it's Libyan campaign right now- but as far as I'm concerned, if they haven't declared outright war on the Qadaffi regime, they are being hypocrite's. It's war, and the fact there are no regular Nato troops on the ground there does not change that. The only real question now is whether Q will escape with his life or not, and how long it will take before he's ousted.
