Libyans protesters took to the streets to protest against the NATO strikes against civilians. They also expressed their support and sympathy for Gaddafi and his family.
The raid was aimed at a home where the Libyan leader and his family were staying. Among the dead were Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, 29, the youngest son of Gaddafi, and three of Gaddafi's grandchildren.
The information was revealed by Libyan government's spokesman Mossa Ibrahim in a press conference.
According to Ibrahim, Gaddafi and his wife, who were in the house at the time, were safe and unharmed, while some other people were injured in the attack.
The spokesman said that the NATO act was a violation of international law which has no legal or political justifications.
The three-storey building was reportedly destroyed and was left empty with no dead bodies remaining there after the strike.
According to reports, the house was hit by three missiles. Two of them exploded, the third was seen lying in one of the rooms of the building.
NATO, however, denied targeting the Gaddafi family but confirmed that it had hit a Libyan government building.
