'No decision made' on deploying UK Apache helicopters in Libya - The Guardian http://tinyurl.com/3k9fyx6
The deployment of Apache attack helicopters to Libya would represent a "serious escalation" of the conflict, the shadow defence secretary, Jim Murphy, has warned. In the first major breach in the bipartisan approach to the bombing campaign, Murphy attacked the government for keeping the public and parliament "in the dark" about the possible deployment of the helicopters.Other MPs warned of "mission creep" and said the development showed the Nato operation was now seeking to overthrow the Muammar Gaddafi regime rather than simply protect Libyan civilians
