Attack kills Libyan Leader's Family

Saturday night brought controversy as one of NATO's air-strikes killed the youngest son and three grandchildren of the current Libyan leader Muammar el Qaddafi. Supporters of the leader revolted by attacking not only the UN buildings but the embassy of the US, Italy, and Britain. Russia actually joined in the rebuke of the attacks saying that is was stepping out of the Security Council's terms for the force against Libya. Others were claiming that the air-strike was intentionally trying to attack and eliminate the family. This attack could help create tension in a mostly unanimously agreed air strikes as supporters are now clamoring for the campaign to be ended quicker while others are pushing forward towards the idea of simply killing the current leader.
