The Defence Secretary has been urged to make a public apology to the victims of sex attacks by Libyan soldiers brought to Cambridge for training with the British Army,

Moktar Ali Saad Mahmoud and Ibrahim Abugtila, were both jailed for 12 years after acting like "hunting dogs" as they raped a man at Christs Pieces in Cambridge last year.

Three other Libyans cadets have already admitted unrelated sex attacks on women which happened on the same night in Cambridge.

They were sentenced at Norwich Crown Court on May 13th but this could not be reported until the other case was concluded.

The leader of Cambridge Council says the victims deserve a public apology. The Ministry of Defence says it's condemned the attacks.
