| Britain is to send a team of military officers to Libya to help advise the rebels fighting Col Muammar Gaddafi.
The BBC understands about 10 UK officers and a similar number from France will provide logistics and intelligence training in Benghazi.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the move was in accordance with the resolution on Libya, which forbids foreign occupation forces.
The Libyan foreign minister said it would only prolong hostilities.
Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told the BBC the sending of UK military personnel to Libya would harm any peace initiative and "prolong the confrontation".
