"A group was captured in Bani Walid consisting of 17 mercenaries. They
are
technical experts and they include consultative officers," Moussa
Ibrahim
told Syrian-based Arrai TV.
"Most of them are French, one of them is from an Asian country that has
not
been identified, two English people and one Qatari," he added.
He said the 17 would be shown on television at a later time, but did not
give more details.
It was not immediately possible to verify Ibrahim's claims. The French
foreign ministry said it had no information regarding the report.
NATO, French and British officials had on Saturday denied a report by
Arrai
TV that some NATO troops had been captured by Gaddafi loyalists.
Western special forces are known to have been in Libya and to have
liaised
with anti-Gaddafi officials during the conflict. Private security firms
have
also been helping anti-Gaddafi forces, according to Western media
reports.
