Iraq: "Kidnap British Nationals"
First of all, this story explains why those two British soldiers were kidnapped in Basra: Moqtada al-Sadr wanted to use them as bargaining chips. Here is the story: Gunmen told: take British hostages
THE radical Shi'ite leader Moqtada al-Sadr has authorised his militia to kidnap two Britons in Iraq in the hope of swapping them for two of his senior officials who are held in Basra by British forces.A senior official from al-Sadr's Mahdi army in Baghdad said that al-Sadr had given the order after last month's dramatic rescue of two SAS men whom he had been hoping to use as bargaining chips.
The source said al-Sadr had given British authorities until yesterday to release his men, but they had failed to do so.
"In return for our two officials, two Britons will be taken," the source said. The two need not necessarily be from the British military, but could be civilians, he added.
U.S. military commanders wanted to put mortal quantities of lead into the flabby body or Mr. al-Sadr. They were blocked by their political overseers who worried about the "political consequences". Well, we are now reaping the political consequences of giving immunity to a person who has killed coalition soldiers.
