PARIS- Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's daughter filed a second war crimes complaint against NATO and France in Paris on Friday over air strikes that killed family members including three infants, her lawyer said.
Aisha Kadhafi filed a similar complaint in Brussels on Tuesday related to an April 30 NATO assault on Tripoli, which, according to Libyan officials, killed the strongman's youngest son and three grand-children.

Friday's complaint also accused French Defence Minister Gerard Longuet and President Nicolas Sarkozy backing the NATO operations of "war crimes" and "assassination", said Kadhafi's French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre.
Coutant-Peyre said she was asked by Kadhafi to file the complaint with a prosecution service in Paris and was to meet with her in Libya this week.
NATO began bombing various sites in Libya following a UN Security Council resolution authorising the use of military force to protect civilians against attacks by the Kadhafi regime.
Aisha's brother, Seif al-Arab Kadhafi, 29, her four-month-old daughter Mastoura, and nephews Seif and Carthage, both two years old, died in the April 30 raid, according to officials in Tripoli.
