The ongoing HRI (Human Rights Investigations) investigation of the cluster bombing of Misrata, Libya in April 2011 has found convincing evidence the bombing was committed by U.S. naval forces

On the 15th of April 2011, during the day, sub-munitions of a MAT-120 cluster bomb were shown to Human Rights Watch (HRW) and C.J. Chivers, a journalist for the New York Times, in Misrata. On that evening, during ongoing clashes between revolutionaries and pro-Gaddafi forces, Human Rights Watch workers witnessed 3 or 4 cluster munitions landing in residential areas of Misrata. HRW attested to further subsequent such bombings.

Both HRW and C.J. Chivers had immediately blamed these attacks on the Gaddafi regime and the news had been a front page and first item on television news around the world.
