Colonel Gaddafi's forces detain and beat BBC team

Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's security forces detained and beat up a BBC News team who were trying to reach the strife-torn western city of Zawiya.

The trio were beaten with fists, knees and rifles, hooded and subjected to mock executions by members of Libya's army and secret police.

The three men were held for 21 hours, but have now flown out of Libya following their detention on Monday.

After their release, two of the three - Goktay Koraltan and Feras Kilani - spoke to the BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen.
