Britain, France to Send Military Advisers to Misrata

The UK announced that is deploying 10 elite military advisers to Libya and that they would be joined by a similar number from France.  These advisers would help train opposition fighters and try to shape the rebels into a coherent fighting force.  This comes after the Arab nation Qatar delivers some preliminary arms shipments to the opposition.  Britain was partially prompted to make this move after aid ships in the port area of Misrata came under threat from Libyan government artillery

This could mark the beginning of an increase in foreign involvement in the Libyan civil war.
