I’m guessing the 20ish figure will include an 8 man SAS section and somehow (call me cynical) I don’t think the SAS will get up to much “training” especially since we will be using reaper and sentinel to “find and dismantle the Al Qaeda network behind the slaughter in Algeria”. Also unconfirmed reports from other sites include the use of British satellites (I’m guessing Skynet) and that MI6 will be asked to put some extra assets into the area.
