Iraq Hostages Video

Asked for the reaction to the video issued by the kidnappers of five Britons aired by Al Arabiya television demanding Britain to leave Iraq and put that there was some talk of a COBR meeting, the PMS said that he was not aware of anything at Ministerial level regarding COBR. The Foreign Office had issued a statement on the footage which the PMS reiterated; we had seen the media broadcast of the footage; we condemned the publication of the video which served only to add to the distress of the men’s families and friends. It was our long-established policy not to comment on such footage and we encouraged others not to speculate, as that would be unhelpful and distressing for the families concerned.

  1. Time is to end up this oil war, which is being carriued out as a colonial extermination. Pull out the troops, like in Vietnam and everything will be O.K.
