Brits bail out Romans

Franko...where do we send the bill?

British special forces commandos were involved in a dramatic operation at dawn yesterday to rescue two Italian soldiers kidnapped by the Taleban in western Afghanistan.

The involvement of two teams of Special Boat Service (SBS) commandos in the successful mission to free the Italians from their captors emerged in Rome when officials from the Italian Defence Ministry announced the successful conclusion of the rescue operation.

One team to row the boat, and the other to dig a canal for it through the sand and mountains.

That doesn't leave anyone to hide with binoculars and a sniper's rifle.
