In the videos posted online, headstones marking the final resting place of the famous Desert Rats in the Benghazi War Cemetery were torn down and crucifixes attacked with hammers.

More than 1,000 soldiers from the 7th Armoured Division were buried there after serving in the battle for control of Libya and Egypt between 1941 and 1943.

 The men in the footage, seen by the Mail on Sunday, are heard saying: "They are dogs, they are dogs."

Among the graves defiled by the extremists was the gravestone commemorating the Reverend Geoffrey Bond, who was the chaplain to the forces until his death in 1941 at the age of 30.

The gratitude of Libyan rebels freed from Gaddafi

Now do you understand William Hague and David Cameron?

This is why there must be no intervention in Syria. You either have a secular Strong Man like Asad, Mubarak or Gaddafi or you have an Islamist runnning the country. Once you topple the friendly secular dictator and help the rebel freedom fighters you deliver the country to the Islamists who are infinitely worse. This has been the pattern of the Middle East for more than a hundred years. I hope this is an islated event but if it it repeats itself then it will pave the way to ruin in Libya and the beginning of the Islamitization process of the country. And once it goes down that road then people will hark back to the days of Gaddafi as the good 'ol days.
