Wounded Libyan fighters flown to US.
Description
An injured Libyan fighter is stretchered into a U.S. airforce plane at Libya's Tripoli airport.
This man is one of 25 wounded fighters being flown to the U.S. for treatment, at the request of Libya's interim government.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to the request, in collaboration with private U.S. companies, during her visit to Libya last week.
American ambassador to Libya, Gene Cretz, said the U.S. was committed to aiding Libya's people.
(SOUNDBITE)(English) U.S. AMBASSADOR TO LIBYA GENE CRETZ SAYING:
"The American military, which had previously been used to help these people overthrow a dictator, to now help the war wounded to bring them to the United States for the best possible care that they deserve."
The men, who all require advanced surgical treatment, will be flown to Boston's Spaulding Hospital in Massachusetts.
