PressTV - BBC accused of broadcasting "lies": "Campaigners attending the annual conference of Stop the War Coalition, including anti-poverty charity War on Want, slammed the BBC on Saturday for claiming that the Western military alliance's invasion of Libya will protect civilians, because they are using modern military technology to avoid civilians' deaths.
War on Want executive director John Hillary lashed out at the broadcaster for giving coverage to NATO airstrikes, particularly attacks by US-made remote-controlled Predator drones, against Libyan people since late April.
A BBC correspondent had written in March that the “NATO coalition were 'plainly making big efforts to avoid killing civilians”.
'The old myth of pinpoint precision bombing has become much more of a reality', said BBC correspondent John Simpson."
