So, the allies bombed the Libyan rebels.

As the allies are only there to enforce a no fly zone, enforce an arms embargo and protect civilians, why did Mr Hague apologise for this bombing?

The rebels must have been doing something wrong in order for the rules of engagement to apply, or is this proof of mission creep where the allies are taking out the Gadaffi loyal forces willy nilly?

In this case, if the rebels were using vehicles thought to only be used by loyalists, and these vehicles weren't engaging civilians, why were they attacked?
