Three Dutch marines captured during rescue in Libya

Talks are under way to free a Dutch helicopter crew captured in Libya trying to evacuate foreign citizens, the Netherlands' defence ministry says.

The three marines landed their Lynx near the port of Sirte on Sunday, flying in from the Dutch warship Tromp, which is anchored off the Libyan coast.

Evacuate foreign citizens? In a LYNX?!? Either there were not very many of them or they were freeze dried before boarding because the Lynx is SMALL and while used for military operations is not at all suited for carrying large numbers of people.
