BBC News - Libya conflict: UN accuses both sides of war crimes: "Rights experts said they had found evidence of crimes including murder and torture, in a pattern suggesting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was behind them.
The UN mission also said opposition forces were guilty of abuses that would constitute war crimes, although they were not as numerous.
Earlier, Nato extended its mission in Libya by a further 90 days.
The UN investigators' report, released on Wednesday in Geneva, was carried out by a team of three human rights experts.
Early on Thursday, explosions were reported in Tripoli, as aircraft were heard flying overhead. Nato has been carrying out regular air strikes on the Libyan capital.
Migrant workers 'tortured'
The trio of investigators travelled to Libya to carry out the investigation, and met both sides in the conflict, as well as human rights groups and medical professionals, and families of those detained."
