LIBYAN interim government forces licked their wounds yesterday after a failed assault on the town of Bani Walid, and a spokesman for Moammar Gadhafi accused NATO of killing 354 people in overnight air strikes on the city of Sirte.
Moussa Ibrahim, the deposed leader's spokesman, said Gadhafi was still in Libya, leading the "resistance" against his foes.
He said NATO air strikes on Sirte, Gadhafi's birthplace, had hit a residential building and a hotel, killing 354 people.
"We are aware of these allegations," Colonel Roland Lavoie, spokesman for the Western military alliance, said in Brussels.
"It is not the first time such allegations have been made. Most often, they are revealed to be unfounded or inconclusive," Colonel Lavoie added.
The death toll could not be immediately verified.
