| Libyan rebels will be supplied with UK body armour as Cameron vows to leave 'no stone unturned' |
| 2011-04-13 |
| Britain has agreed to supply body armour to Libyan rebels fighting leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, it has been revealed. Downing Street confirmed the UK would be sending out 1,000 sets of body armour to the rebels from surplus UK defence supplies. It said that the decision was in line with UN Security Council resolutions and would enable the opposition forces 'to defend themselves and their communities against regime forces that attack civilians'. |

| #3 Sad thing is, Talibs might have the body armour before all the Brit troops in Afghanistan have it. |
