Royal Navy ships heading to Mideast
(KUNA) -- Two British Royal Navy ships are heading to the Middle East to support a possible evacuation of Britons from Lebanon, it was reported Sunday. Aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious and assault ship HMS Bulwark are being deployed as safety fears increase, the satellite TV station Sky news said. An estimated 10,000 British citizens in Lebanon have been warned to prepare for a quick departure if fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah intensifies. Posted by: Fred 2006-07-17 |
