Libyan rebels faced setbacks including the deaths of at least 13 fighters when their convoy was mistakenly hit by an allied airstrike meant to thwart forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi.
NATO said it was “looking into” the reports of the strike near Brega yesterday while the leaders of the rebellion, who are based in the eastern city of Benghazi, said their own fighters were at fault.
