Was it the Dutch who had their peacekeepers captured and murdered in Rwanda, or was that someone else?

British diplomat captured along with SAS unit in Libya was MI6 agent the government has also confirmed that the botched SAS mission was authorised by Foreign secretary William Hague. The MI6 man was not directly plotting to help broing down Gaddafi, government sources insisted. A Foreign Office source said the team WAS given the green light to go in but local rebels were not told. The senior source said: "It's easy to criticise and the operation didn't go as well as hoped. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's vital to know what's going on in Libya." The SAS men were from a unit formerly known as The Increment, hand-picked to protect MI5 and MI6 officials."Diplomats" hey.

The Libyan government has decided on an immediate cease-fire in its civil war with rebels, Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa said Friday.
Libya's action comes after the U.N. Security Council authorized the use of force to protect Libyan civilians from attacks by forces loyal to the Moammar Gadhafi regime.
Enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libya could begin in hours, a French government spokesman said on Friday.

Seems the threat was good enough to bring the shooting to an end. Doesn't change leadership in the country but at least we can avoid getting tangled up in another conflict.
