Raid lawsuit

Lawyers for Muammar al-Gaddafi's daughter have filed lawsuits in Paris and Brussels over the alleged assassination in late April of four of the Libyan leader's relatives during Nato bombing raids over Tripoli.

Attorneys for Aisha al-Gaddafi say the complaints do not name a specific defendant, although an official at the state prosecutor's office said that the text appears to target the Atlantic military alliance - which has its headquarters in the Belgian capital.

State prosecutors said yesterday that officials are assessing whether the case can be admitted.
