George Galloway this morning expressed his outrage at the NATO air attack which killed Gaddafi’s youngest son, Saif Al Arab, and three of Gaddafi’s grandchildren in a Tripoli suburb.”This was a cold-blooded targeted attack on a residential house in the suburbs of Tripoli,” said George Galloway who is campaigning in Glasgow for election to the Scottish Parliament. “It beggars belief that this was not a deliberate attempt to assassinate Gaddafi, in the full knowledge that innocent children would be killed in the process.
This is a total breach of UN resolution 1973 which authorised action to protect civilians – not kill them.”NATO sorties are now being used to commit war crimes. Both nationally and internationally the cry must go up for NATO’s military actions to be halted immediately and a ceasefire declared. And David Cameron must answer straight, not fudge as he has been doing all day, whether attacking so-called command and control facilities allows the deliberate targeting of Gadaffi and his family, with no regard whatever to the innocent men, women and children who are incinerated as a consequence.”
