THE TELEGRAPH: If the latest information to surface about our Government supplying SAS soldiers to Libya is to be believed then our leaders have truly sold their souls to the devil.
Lest we forget in the 1970s the main source of IRA arms was Libya and in the 1980s, the IRA obtained even larger quantities of weapons and explosives from Gaddafi's Libya. In addition there is strong evidence that IRA bombers and gunmen received training from Libya.
Therefore if British soldiers were sent to train Gaddafi’s people then it must have been with heavy hearts. The SAS has a history of fighting terrorism that goes all the way back to Malaya in the 1950s. Their collective memory of campaigns fought and won includes Borneo, Aden, Dohfar, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq and of course Afghanistan. >>> Robin Horsfall* | Saturday, September 12, 2009
