A
British navy ship was
evacuating British nationals from Libya on Sunday, the Foreign ****** said, with worsening security problems forcing thousands of people to flee. Sunday's operation is likely to resemble the one used in 2011 during the bloody uprising which ousted dictator Moamer Kadhafi, when a Royal
navy ship evacuated foreigners. Michael Aron, Britain's ambassador in Tripoli, said Friday he had "reluctantly" decided to leave due to the worsening local fighting.

from Islamist groups.
