The federal government announced yesterday that it is sending planes to rescue Canadians stranded in the chaos in Libya.

According to Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, there are over three hundred Canadians currently registered at the embassy in the capital city of Tripoli. Of those, Cannon says ninety-one  have indicated that they want to leave the country.
