Brussels - An aircraft provided by France and Sweden has helped evacuate three Britons and three Spaniards injured in the Mumbai terror attacks, officials in Brussels said Monday. The injured, two of whom reportedly in serious condition, were accompanied by a Swedish medical team. Their plane landed in London early Monday. The evacuation was part of EU rescue efforts which began on Thursday as part of the bloc's civil protection mechanism. This provides medical evacuation facilities and consular assistance to European citizens caught in the world's hotspots. Austria and Greece have also offered to provide airplanes, whose cost for such purposes is shared among EU member states. Last week's terror attacks by heavily armed gunmen in India's financial hub have left 188 dead and over 300 injured.
