At least two people have died in an apparent Nato air strike that hit a house in the Libyan capital Tripoli.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s Jeremy Bowen was at the scene and he said rescue workers and residents were frantically trying to remove tonnes of rubble.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent says a three-storey house was hit in the city’s Suq Al Juma residential area.<\/p>\n

He says it will raise more questions about Nato’s mission in Libya, which began in March.<\/p>\n

There has been no response yet from Nato, but it has acknowledged mistakenly hitting civilian areas in previous bombing raids.<\/p>\n

Libyan officials say the attack happened at around midnight.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent was taken to the scene where he saw two dead bodies – one being pulled from the rubble and another being placed in an ambulance.<\/p>\n

He adds that local people said an entire family had been killed, though he was unable to immediately verify this claim.<\/p>\n

What started as a peaceful uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi’s 41-year-rule four months ago has grown into a civil war.<\/p>\n

The rebels now hold a third of the country in the east and pockets in the west, including Misrata, although Tripoli remains under government control.<\/p>\n
