Britain says it will send a team of military officers to the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi. The Foreign Secretary William Hague said they would not be involved in training or arming opponents of Colonel Gaddafi but would advise on military organisation, communications and logistics. Mr Hague said the move was in accordance with the UN Security Council resolution on Libya.

英国表示，他们将派遣一组军事官员前往利比亚叛军堡垒班加西。外交大臣威廉·黑格(William Hague)表示，他们不会对卡扎菲上校的敌人提供训练或武装但是会提供军事组织，通讯和后勤方面的建议。黑格表示，此举与联合国安理会关于利比亚的决议是一致的。

"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."

“这并不是英国地面作战部队进入利比亚。我们非常明白联合国的决议。他们禁止任何国家占领利比亚的任何一部分领土，我们将严格遵守这一规定。我们将以非致命的设备提供帮助，例如电信和防弹衣等等。”
