Coalition leaders have said repeatedly that coalition jets have dropped precision bombs on military targets and there have been no civilian casualties so far in the aerial war.<\/p>\n<p>CNN could not independently verify the circumstances of the deaths or who the victims were. Regardless, Gadhafi&#8217;s message was loud and clear: innocent people were wrongly killed and the Libyan people will fight back against what state television called &#8220;crusader colonial aggression.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n<!-- \/cnn_strybtmcntnt --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntnt --><\/p>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.58442776735\">\n<div readability=\"3.76923076923\">\n<p>Part of complete coverage on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.10891089109\">\n<div readability=\"5.9603960396\">\n<p>Find up-to-the-minute updates on the situation in Libya with CNN&#8217;s This Just In blog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.48695652174\">\n<div readability=\"5.2347826087\">\n<p>Follow CNN correspondents on the ground as they report on conflict in the Arab world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"4.35398230088\">\n<div readability=\"5.0796460177\">\n<p>Peter Bergen warns against comparing U.S. involvement in two different conflicts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div readability=\"5.3475177305\">\n<div readability=\"6.58156028369\">\n<p>Are you in the Middle East or North Africa?
