NATO is acknowledging that one of its airstrikes in Libya may have caused civilian casualties.

The errant air strike happened early Sunday in the east of the capital, Tripoli, and was due to a "weapons system failure," a NATO official said.

Libyan officials say nine civilians were killed, including two children. Officials took reporters to the building that was hit, where children's toys, teacups and dust-covered mattresses could be seen amid the rubble.
