"This is not British ground combat forces going in. We're very clear about the United Nations resolutions.They forbid any occupation, foreign occupation, of any parts of Libya, and we will absolutely stick to that . We're helping with non-lethal equipment, such as telecommunications and body armour."
The Libyan Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told the BBC that sending military personnel would only serve to prolong hostilities.“这并不是说英国的陆战部队进入利比亚。我们很清楚联合国做出的禁止其他国家对利比亚进行任何形式的入侵的决议。而我们也会坚持这一决议。我们只是提供人道援助,比如说电信和防弹设施。”
利比亚外长Abdul Ati al-Obeidi告诉我们,派遣军事人员只会使战争持续。
