Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Libya Claims 31 Dead in NATO Air Strikes

HeadlineJun 08, 2011

The Libyan government is claiming at least 31 people have died in the most sustained NATO bombings of the Libyan capital Tripoli to date. The death toll has not been independently verified. Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said the dead included civilians.

Moussa Ibrahim: “Today, we have lost 31 martyrs from the center of the city in Bab al-Aziziya, the outskirts of Tajoura and Tareeq al-Matar. Some of these 31 were guards guarding the buildings that were hit. Some of them were passers-by. Some of them were totally innocent civilians. The injured are in the dozens.”
