This is a pretty shocking war crime if it is true. Is it?

NATO war crime: Libya water supply23.07.2011

A NATO terrorist attack has hit a water pipes factory in al-Brega,
murdering six guards, this being the factory which makes pipes for the
great man-made irrigation system across the desert which brings water to
seventy per cent of Libyan homes, according to sources in Libya. The
factory was hit after the water supply network was destroyed on
Friday.
July 22 2011. A date for humanity to remember. NATO hit the Libyan water
supply pipeline. It will take months to repair. Then on Saturday they hit
the pipeline factory producing pipes to repair it.
Since when is a water pipes factory in al-Brega a legitimate target to
impose a no-fly zone to protect civilians? Sine when is the water supply
pipeline itself a legitimate target?
NATO has committed another war crime, targeting a civilian water supply
network which brings water to 70% of Libya's population, according to
Pravda.Ru sources in Libya. The general manager of the Man Made River
Corporation which controls the pipeline reports it was hit in a NATO
strike on Friday. In another clear violation of the law, a consignment
from Italy of 19 000 AK-47's was caught in Ajdabiyah by the Libyan
authorities, according to Libyan military sources.
The international community has two choices: to turn a blind eye like
cowards and allow NATO to murder Libyan children, murder Libyan civilians
and support terrorists with their strikes - we have received information
that white phosphorous is being used against Libyan government positions
now that NATO is getting desperate- remember Napalm anyone?? The second
option is for the international community to use the proper channels to
bring pressure on NATO itself and on the politicians in its member states
to stop this murderous atrocity, this outrage against civilization and
international law, now.
You vote for this campaign? Then you are a child murderer, or sympathise
with child murderers. Cameron, Obama and Sarkozy have the blood of
hundreds of innocent people on their hands.
If NATO's contribution to protecting civilians is bombing their water
supply then the international community will respond to this heinous war
crime, whether or not the politicians do. Will anyone please do something
about this horrendous war crime? Or will we all sit back while NATO
destroys water supply lines, a civilian structure? Is this protecting
civilians or is this an act of revenge because NATO is losing?
