"Downing Street said Britain would be sending the rebels 1,000 sets of body armour in "non-lethal" aid from surplus UK defence stocks, in addition to the 100 satellite phones already supplied."

How does this tie in with the oft quoted lack of body armour for British troops in Afghanistan? Who will advise on the use of such equipment? The "mission creep" continues.
