LAST Plane leaves for Tripoli evacuation

El NACHO - 13:34
Plane leaves for Tripoli evacuation: "A plane set off from London for Libya on Saturday in what is expected to be the last charter flight to bring back British people still trapped in the capital Tripoli.
The Boeing 737 left from Gatwick airport and is expected to return to Britain later in the day.
Any Britons still in Tripoli have been urged to head for the airport at first light as terrified residents brace for bloody battles as Moamer Kadhafi said he was ready to arm civilian supporters to defeat a popular revolt.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said it was 'very important' for any Britons still caught up in the chaos to get on board the flight.
Hague also said 'a lot of work' was being done on plans to extract up to 170 British oil workers stranded in remote desert locations, who have become the government's main concern.
'There are now very few British nationals remaining in Tripoli. It's very important that those that remain go to the airport, that they do so at first light,' he said."
