A Nato airstrike near Tripoli has killed 85 people, including dozens of women and children, Libyan officials have claimed.
A spokesman for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's regime said missiles struck a cluster of farm buildings in the village of Majar, around 150km east of the capital.
Among the dead were 33 children, 32 women and 20 men, he added.
However, Nato has said the airstrike hit a legitimate military target.
Reporters have been taken to the scene, where they were told by Moussa Ibrahim: "This is a crime beyond imagination. Everything about this place is civilian."

Foreign journalists have been taken to see several destroyed buildings in a village near the town of Zlitan which Libyan officials said were hit by NATO airstrikes.
They claim at least 85 civilians were killed in the worst non-combatant death toll since NATO began its campaign.
Unconfirmed reports say 33 children were among the dead. The Gaddafi regime has declared three days of mourning.
Officials in Tripoli hope to show the world that NATO bombings keep straying from military targets, thus reducing Western support for the mission.
