<p>Passengers who have flown into Britain after fleeing crisis-torn Libya on board HMS Cumberland have spoken of the chaos gripping the state as anti-regime protests grow.</p>
<p>A total of 116 people, including 68 Britons, flew from Malta to Gatwick Airport on Flight HV7004.</p>
<p>Many passengers spoke of the deteriorating safety on the streets of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and marauding gangs ransacking and looting.</p>
<p>Construction industry worker Jong-Kuk Lee, a 56-year-old Korean who lives in Surbiton, Surrey, was greeted with hugs by his tearful wife Cecilia, 51, and daughter Joo Lee, 26.</p>
<p>Mr Lee was attacked at knifepoint by thugs and robbed of possessions including his passport and mobile phone in the middle of the night in his living quarters.</p>
<p>Amid reports of the turmoil, his family back home in Britain received a phone call from him saying he was staying at a power plant in the hope that it would not be targeted.</p>
<p>His daughter, who works for an investment bank, said: &#8220;He thought that by staying at a power plant it would be a safe place to be with two of his colleagues.</p>
<p>&#8220;He left a message for us from the power plant saying that he wasn&#8217;t hurt, he was fine and not to worry. He didn&#8217;t give much away, which was typical of Dad.&#8221; Miss Lee added that she found out that he was definitely one of the people to make it on board HMS Cumberland after giving a television interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;The commander contacted my mother personally to say that my father was on board after seeing my interview on Sky News,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Mr Lee had tears in his eyes as he was greeted at Gatwick&#8217;s South Terminal with huge hugs. He said: &#8220;I feel better now. I had everything stolen. They took everything from me. I didn&#8217;t have my passport or mobile. It was terrible.&#8221;</p>
