"The British diplomatic team was detained Thursday by Libyan rebels after landing unannounced in a helicopter near the main eastern city of Benghazi. Opposition officials challenged the group — believing them to be mercenaries — and held them after discovering they were armed.
In a telephone call to an opposition spokesman, Britain's ambassador to Libya, Richard Northern, pleaded for the group to be released. The conversation was apparently intercepted by Libya's government and broadcast on state television."
