UK deploying military team to Libya
British military officers will be sent to Libya to advise rebels fighting Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's forces, the Government has said.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said the group would be deployed to Libya's second city Benghazi, which is an opposition stronghold.
He said: "The National Security Council has decided that we will now move quickly to expand the team already in Benghazi to include an additional military liaison advisory team.
"This contingent will be drawn from experienced British military officers."
