TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The small note in curly handwriting was quietly passed by a medic to a foreign reporter in a Tripoli hospital.
Its hastily scrawled contents suggested that Libyan officials were lying when they said a baby girl was wounded in a NATO attack. Government officials had bused reporters to the Tripoli Central Hospital to see the baby, whom they identified as Haneen.
She lay on a stark hospital cot, with colorful tubes attached to her body. Her foot was bandaged.
"This is a case of road traffic accident," the medic's note read.
