The U.K. dispatched a team of military advisers to assist Libyan rebels fighting to topple Muammar Qaddafi as NATO jets destroyed tanks, armored vehicles and rocket launchers near a rebel-held city.
The contingent of “experienced British military officers” will help the rebels organize communications and logistics, Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement from London. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said its warplanes bombed a convoy of Qaddafi loyalist armored-vehicles bound for the besieged port city of Misrata, where NATO has been unable to stave off attacks that have killed and injured civilians.
