Libya: British Special Forces on the ground

According to a report in British newspaper, The Mirror, British special forces troops are on the ground in Libya.

The paper reveals images taken of British SAS troops in Libya. It goes on to reveal that the unit, comprising ex-British special forces soldiers, are employed by a private security firm that is sanctioned by the British government.

The Mirror goes on to say "The elite unit is funded by the MoD via a security firm to topple Colonel Gaddafi."

Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, insists no British boots are on the ground in Libya. But a senior military source said: “They’re representing Britain.”

Is this Britain's secret ground war?
