A British man, Phil Sands, a freelance journalist, was kidnapped in Iraq and held for five days by armed terrorists who threatened to behead him. Phil Sands was rescued last week by American special forces. An amazing part of the story was that no one knew Phil Sands was missing.
A British man kidnapped in Iraq and held for five days by armed men who threatened to behead him was rescued last week by American special forces and astonished to discover that no one had noticed he was missing.
Phil Sands, 28, a freelance journalist, was held by gunmen who ambushed his car in Baghdad. He said the worst aspect of his ordeal was imagining the anguish of his family. But his parents were holidaying in Morocco and knew nothing of his sufferings until he called them after he was released during a chance raid by US forces on a farm outside Baghdad.
With the situation at hand Phil Sands had pretty much given up all hope and expected his demise to be a mere formality. Luckily US Special Forces made that formality a non-reality for Phil Sands.
