Brit send elite spy unit to Libya to hunt Qaddafi

The Sun:

BRITAIN has sent the most elite Special Forces covert spying unit to Libya to seek out Gaddafi, The Sun can reveal.

The crack Special Reconnaissance Regiment – based at Hereford with the SAS – has deployed teams at key points in Tripoli.

They are also operating in Mad Dog's home town of Sirte and other cities in the hope of pinning him down.

A defence insider said: "These guys are incredible, they have taken covert battlefield surveillance to a level of expertise never before seen in military history.

"Nothing escapes their ever-watchful eyes – and yet no one knows where they are.

"The men and women of SRR are like brainy versions of SAS troopers and their impact in Libya could be game-changing."

The Brits appear to have provide the final impetus that allowed the rebels to take Tripoli. There is no indication that US special forces were involved.
