Battle for Libya's Tripoli kills at least 29 civilians as Amnesty International warns of war crimes


Indiscriminate attacks in residential areas of Libya's Tripoli may amount to war crimes, Amnesty International has warned. Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) launched an offensive to take Tripoli from the GNA on April 4. She was one of seven people to be killed when a mortar hit the Hay al-Intissar district, a mainly residential area. "We want the international war crime tribunal to help us open an investigation," he added. "All sides have an absolute obligation under international law to protect civilian lives and to clearly distinguish between civilians and fighters during their attacks," she also stressed.
