2110 GMT: NATO has acknowledged that an airstrike on the Libyan capital Tripoli may have caused "a number of civilian casualties" when a residential building was destroyed.
The Libyan regime, claiming nine people were killed and six injured, has been showing foreign journalists the building site and taking them to a hospital where casualties have been taken.
"This is cold-blooded murder," regime spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said amidst the rubble of the building. "Is this the protection of civilians? Is this really the search for peace and democracy in Libya, to attack peaceful neighborhoods of Tripoli?"
NATO said in a statement Sunday that a military missile site was the strike's intended target: "However, it appears that one weapon did not strike the intended target and that there may have been a weapons system failure."
The development has already had an effect on reporting: the BBC's Jeremy Bowen, in a lengthy report tonight that highlighted the damage and hostile reactions of local residents, declared, "For NATO, this has been the worst day since the start of the conflict."

1120 GMT:Al Masry Al Youm posts a feature on the "popular committees" formed by neighbourhoods during the Egyptian uprising for protection, exploring how they have taken on new roles after the fall of the Mubarak regime:
It’s in the work of these groups that the revolution continues: From representing community demands to engaging local residents to hold their government accountable, these committees are making politics relevant to people's everyday lives.For most committees, politics is no longer “out there” in a remote sphere from which they feel marginalized; politics is at home. For the broader society, popular committees are an opportunity to communicate with once-invisible citizens.
At one meeting, I met Marwa, clad in a black niqab, who spoke of how she worked with her committee to spread liberal values in the villages of Sohag. In another, Peter from Shubra described how his main initiative was to encourage Coptic youth to become more active outside the Church, shifting the locus of their identity from religion to community. At a recent meeting in Imbaba, I met the father of a young resident who was killed during the uprising. “The revolution is not in Tahrir,” he announced. “How many people died in Tahrir compared to all of our neighborhoods? The revolution is here [in Imbaba] and we must continue fighting for it.”

0600 GMT: There is no such thing as a quiet day in North Africa and the Middle East, but Saturday was slow for headline news, as the protests of Friday gave way to a settling of battle lines.
In Syria, the Assad regime, unable to quell protest throughout the country, appears to have made a decision to "lock down" certain areas. Earlier this spring, it was the south around Daraa; now it is the northwest around Jisr al Shughour near the Turkish border.
On Saturday, the military occupied two towns only two miles from the frontier, while more residents fled into the woods and fields and, if possible, crossed the border.
