Description

Dave Loyn reports on how the US air strikes on Libya missed most of their military targets and hit houses, a hospital, and the playground of a school. The Libyan public is furious, and people have posted anti-American signs on the beach, made from the bombs which did not explode. Includes interviews with Ramadan Salim, a Libyan hospital doctor, and an unidentified male airport spokesman.
