According to Reuters, an 8 men SAS team has been taken prisoner by pro-Gaddafi forces near Bengazi (thanks to Palestinian for this info! The Saker).
So the SAS is already on the ground.

I think the report says "anti-Qaddafi" forces not "pro..."

Who are those rebels, anyway? They seem to me like the kind you see in each african country in civil war, unorganized with old weapons driving in an old pick up truck. In principle, no contest for Khadafi's military, I guess. Khadafi may not to be too far off when he claims he's fighting 'Al Qaida' (which is being ridiculized by the western press). He may well be fighting the same type of moslim rebels like in Yemen. No?
They were taken by anti qadhafi forces, sas was there to help qadhafi. Read the link...
not a post for you to submit, just a news article for you
Libyan rebels seize UK elite troops
from AL JAZEERA ENGLISH (AJE)
Fighters in Benghazi confirm reports that they are holding members of a British special forces team.

Pro-Gaddhafi forces? That's not what I read, but in any event it's Fawlty Towers...
@EVERYBODY: I posed the link to the news about the SAS this morning 3mins before leaving the house. Now the link points to another article. It gave the article a 30 sec read and posted it, so I might very well have gotten my "pro-Gadaffi" and "anti-Gadaffi" mixed up.
Sorry!!!!
To me the only really important part of the article was the fact that the friggin SAS were already on the ground.
I will try to be more cautious (and less rushed) and I will correct the article now.
Thanks and, again, my apologies!

@VINEYARDSAKER:
Are you surprised at this revelation?
I am not in fact it is what I expect.
@Jack: Are you surprised at this revelation?
Nope, not really. Rather disgusted and worried.
So far, the tally is:
1) SAS
2) Dutch Paratroopers
and these are only the ones who were caught...
@VINEYARDSAKER:
I would add there would probably be MOSSAD and Israeli Special Forces and Saudi jihadists.
Would not be surprised if Al Jazeera journalists were covertly giving info and acting as an intelligence courier for Britain/US or the various rebel groups.
We know from the Madrid trial that an Al Jazeera journalist acted as a cash courier to “Al Qaeda” forces fighting there proxy wars and the regime is at the forefront of financing international terrorism through its state charity NGO the Qatar Charitable Society.
Actually I would like to know who actually funds these anti-Gadaffi forces and what there connections are.
You remember there was a huge explosion at an arms dump just outside Benghazi on Friday that killed at least 30 people? And witnesses say there were no airstrikes? This is a guess but I wouldn't be surprised if the SAS men's mission had something to do with that. I don't believe for a minute the government's cover story that's just nonsense. They have a motive for taking out the arms dump, as if the rebels (who already have far less access to arms than Qathafi) start running out of weapons they'll be more likely to access Western intervention and have the revolution hijacked.

'It gave the article a 30 sec read and posted it, so I might very well have gotten my "pro-Gadaffi" and "anti-Gadaffi" mixed up.'
a freudian slip? But revealing! You think the nasty gadaffi has brought in big gus from his friends abroad?
See my previous post...and how many bloggers need a reality check in Gadaffi!

@Brian:a freudian slip? But revealing!
Hardly. I Freudian slip is something which reveals an unconscious feeling whereas in my case I have a fully conscious and strong dislike for a guy I consider a bloody buffoon. To me he is in the same league as the rest of them secularist Arab "nationalists" who totally failed at resisting the Empire or caring for their people. The day Gaddafi gets the boot, I will be (almost) as happy as the day Mubarak had to go.
On substance now:
The reason why I probably thought that pro-Gadaffi forces got the British goons is that I assumed that the anti-Gaddafi forces would welcome them. I did not realize that the SAS are actually dumb enough to get into a firefight with ANTI-Gaddafi forces.
Cheers!
