VALLETTA, Malta: Britain says its military aircraft have evacuated another 150 civilians from the eastern Libyan desert.
The Ministry of Defense says majority of those aboard three RAF Hercules planes on Sunday were British nationals.
The rescue follows a similar secret commando raid Saturday by British Special Forces that plucked another 150 oil workers from the remote Libyan desert.
