One British and two Canadian peace activists held hostage in Iraq for almost four months have been freed in an operation by multinational forces.

Mr Kember, 74, and two Canadian colleagues, Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, and James Loney, 41, were rescued by a special forces unit which stormed the house where they were being held.
The Christian Peacemaker Team workers and an American, Tom Fox, whose body was found last month, were kidnapped by a previously unknown organisation called the Swords of Righteousness Brigades on November 26.
The multi-national operation to free the hostages, involving British, Iraqi and other coalition forces, is thought to have taken place north of Baghdad.

I'm quite surprised that we managed to locate and extract them - obviously some superb work by Intel. types, followed by a nice cheeky rescue. Hopefully the special ops fellas wiped out the hostage takers to discourage further such incidents.
I wonder if they'll send Kember the bill? ____________________ >Soultrader Mister James, I bet you are a copper

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 18 years, 65 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
