Going to piggy back on Jon’s post<\/a> about here with this story about the local’s reaction <\/a>to the American pilots who crashed in Libya. <\/p>\n

Six Libyan villagers are recovering in hospital after being shot by American soldiers coming in to rescue the U.S. pilots whose plane crash-landed in a field.<\/p>\n

The helicopter strafed the ground as it landed in a field outside Benghazi beside the downed U.S. Air Force F-15E Eagle which ran into trouble during bombing raid last night.<\/p>\n

And a handful of locals who had come to greet the pilot were hit – among them a young boy who may have to have a leg amputated because of injuries caused by a bullet wound.<\/p>\n

A second aviator – the F15’s weapons officer – was found in a field full of sheep and was greeted like a hero by locals and anti-Gaddafi rebels.<\/p>\n

As the officer was surrounded by villagers, he held his arms out, calling ‘okay, okay’, according to the Evening Standard – but the grateful Libyans queued to thank him and give him juice.<\/p>\n

Younis Amruni told the newspaper: ‘I hugged him and said “Don’t be scared, we are your friends”. We are so grateful to these men who are protecting the skies.’\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
