Five out of three hundred Libyan Army Cadets who were being trained by the British Army at Bassingbourn have been charged with committing serious sexual assaults, including two Cadets that have been charged with rape.

One of the Cadets, Omar Al-Mukhtar, has been quoted by the BBC as saying:

"They didn't tell us about British law and what is the difference between right and wrong here."

He also said the Libyan Cadets believed the British authorities dealt with the arrested Cadets in...

"...an unlawful way.....we blame the British authorities for not taking proper care of us."

Asked if the Cadets has a message for the British government he said:

"Not to take things too seriously."

That these things occur, is one thing, that they appear to come as a surprise is completely another !
