4 CPO's taken hostage in MOI?

[covert munkey]

Hello folks?

What ever happened to the 4 lCPO ads that got taken hostage at the MOI in Baghdad about 6 months ago?

Have we seen or heard anything about them?

Poor lads

What company where they from?

[co19]

They worked for garda global which used to be Kroll, my old company. One of the lads was on a disturbing video asking for british troops to leave Iraq. If not then he would be murdered by a date which had already passed by the time the tape was distributed. Nothing else heard.

Bloody shame!

Funny how the news hasnt really been covering it......all a ploy to make us Brits think our Govt is doing a fantsatic job over there and that maybe we'll forget about it.

I feel for the family. Is there anyway we can contact them. Maybe send a letter from our fellowship?

Just an idea?

Thoughts anybody?

It is, according to HMG, been played down to "not allow the terrorists the public access they desire"
Bollox I'm afraid.. When a jorno is snatched we dont see the end of it.. When its one of us....
I will never forget sat in my local just after the video clip came out and some bloody estate hand ( i live in the country) was chuntering on about "well they get paid loads, so I ant got any sympathy" and "if he wasn't there it wouldn't have happened"

How I kept my hands to myself I aint sure!!!
