NATO acknowledged another strike on Sunday that caused civilian casualties and one on Friday that hit a column of rebel military vehicles.

Bracken said the Sunday incident was caused by a “weapon malfunction” and the Friday incident was a case of mistaken identity.

NATO also said Tuesday it has lost contact with an unmanned helicopter drone that was carrying out surveillance on pro-Gadhafi forces. Bracken says the alliance is looking into the incident.
