Credit: Reuters/Esam al-Fetori By Michael Georgy AJDABIYAH, Libya | Fri Apr 8, 2011 3:13am EDT AJDABIYAH, Libya (Reuters) - Libyan rebels said five of their fighters were killed when NATO planes mistakenly bombed a rebel tank column and a top U.S. general said they were unlikely to be able to oust Muammar Gaddafi by force. With daily skirmishes near the contested port of Brega in eastern Libya making little impact on the front line and rebels unable to end a brutal government assault on the western city of Misrata, NATO admits its mission to protect civilians is tough. In rebel-held eastern Libya, wounded rebels being brought to a hospital Ajdabiyah said their trucks and tanks were hit on Thursday by a NATO air strike outside Brega, where fighting has dragged on for a week. It was the second time in less than a week that rebels had blamed NATO for bombing their comrades by mistake after 13 were killed in an air strike not far from the same spot on Saturday. At the same time, the rebels have accused NATO of being too slow to order air strikes they have come to depend on in their uprising to end more than four decades of Gaddafi rule. NATO said it was investigating an attack by its aircraft on a tank column in the area along the Mediterranean coast on Thursday, saying the situation was "unclear and fluid." Asked if a stalemate was emerging in the seven-week-old conflict, the head of U.S. Africa Command General Carter Ham said: "I would agree with that at present, on the ground." He told a Senate hearing in Washington the United States should not arm the rebels without a better idea of who they were and when asked how the war would end, said: "I think it does not end militarily." There was little likelihood that rebels would be able to fight their way to Tripoli and oust Gaddafi by force, Ham said. Medical workers carried blood-soaked uniforms from hospital rooms in Ajdabiyah, gateway to the insurgent stronghold of Benghazi in the east, after wounded fighters were ferried back from Brega. "It was a NATO air strike on us. We were near our vehicles near Brega," wounded fighter Younes Jumaa said from a stretcher at the hospital. Nurse Mohamed Ali said at least five rebels were dead. "NATO are liars. They are siding with Gaddafi," Salem Mislat, one of the rebels, said. A rebel commander said it appeared to be a case of "friendly fire" and said it did not cause tension with NATO although the rebels wanted an explanation. Rebels had brought about 20 tanks out of storage and were advancing with them along the coastal desert strip that divides Ajdabiyah and Brega when they were hit, he said. 1 2 Next World Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
