British special forces commandos were involved in a dramatic operation at dawn yesterday to rescue two Italian soldiers kidnapped by the Taleban in western Afghanistan.

The involvement of two teams of Special Boat Service (SBS) commandos in the successful mission to free the Italians from their captors emerged in Rome when officials from the Italian Defence Ministry announced the successful conclusion of the rescue operation.
