UK diplomatic team in Libya to meet with rebels
UK Defense Secretary Liam Fox confirmed that a "small British diplomatic team" is in eastern Libya to try to talk to rebels but declined to comment Sunday on a report that special forces soldiers are being held there by opponents of Moammar Gadhafi.
Fox said the government is in touch with the team in Benghazi but told BBC radio it would be "inappropriate" to comment further on an article in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper that soldiers were captured by rebel forces when a secret mission to put British diplomats in touch with leading opponents of Libya's embattled leader went awry.
