SAS return to Libya, rescue more Brits
Special forces on Sunday night successfully carried out a second daring swoop into Libya to rescue civilians stranded by the crisis. Three RAF Hercules carrying members of the SAS and SBS flew into remote locations in the desert collecting and evacuating more than 150 people. The passengers were flown to Malta, where they put in hotels overnight. It was not immediately clear how many among the rescued workers were British, but those with UK passports were expected to be flown back to the UK on Monday. Sunday night's mission takes to five the number of rescue flights ordered by the Government over the weekend. Posted by: 2011-02-27 |
