This is a pretty messed up incident. A British soldier in civilian clothing got ambushed by five guys in Kuwait City and then held captive. Luckily he managed to escape by jumping out of a first story balcony. [Article]
Update: According to Al-Rai newspaper the British government is denying this incident took place. Here is the article (it’s in Arabic). [Article]

This is a pretty messed up incident. indeed mark
Hopefully the police find these animals and throw them in jail
First: if he was serving in iraq, what was he doing in Kuwait? Was he down to pick up some loose Filipina women or other third world nationality?
Second: can he speak Arabic? Did these men show him their civil ID? How does he know they weren’t a bunch of greedy saidi or bengali?
Third: why was this not in any english daily here? You know how they like to gossip…..

not ture
thanks Abdullah, just posted the update
curlysue, third world nationality?
I would like to clarify to anyone that read that, just in case, that is not especially characteristic of a Kuwaiti mind.
Clarification # 32130, oh who am I kidding — I lost count.
This is what happens when you free terrorists suspects on 1000Kd bail – just encourages every nut out there to do anything – there is no punishment.
lol… i heard that he was hanging out in a party with couple of other guys drinking and ****ing… then something went wrong and he ended up in a fight with them…
hilaliya, I think terrorists suspects bail is around 100 kd.. not 1000. heh.
Me thinks curlysue is not getting serviced properly:)
@ Curlysue:
1. British Soldiers no longer are in Iraq; except in Baghdad guarding the British Embassy.
2. They can be in Kuwait; for R&R – Rest and Recuperation or In – transit to de-mobilise / mobilise.
3. Loose Filipina or third world? How can you stereotype? There are ‘loose’ local nationals as well; in addition to first world ‘loose character’ women as well.
4. There are greedy Locals as well. (Please dont generalise)
5. English dailies? Maybe you will read a big ass article tomorrow morning – Arabtimes or Kuwait times will oblige your nubile mind with gossip.
Lastly; you seem to be extremely racist.
No I’m not a racist I’m a pragmatist. And I only state what I see happening around me.
Maybe it is fake, but nit far from true with these bailouts of terrorists!
This story is a rumor only denied by Ku government and the UK embassy be careful what you post.
nxman, do you want the UN to deny it Too?
Why be careful what you post?
If it’s a rumour why is the telegraph printing it? Is it a rumour as in he said it but it hasn’t been proven or a rumour that he even said it? Now I’m confused!
Was he one of the “Beatles” members?
Curly women r loose and flexible. They have been known to accomodate all kinds of positions and handle the ride. Yummy my tummy. Snap crackle and pop!
what an example these guys caused for kuwait
we already are terrorists is the west point of view and know we are for the entire world .
C’mon man dont publish something you are not sure about 100%, That is just killing the reputation more and more, Even tho its already dead in kuwait but try to make it better not worst.
Its published in the Telegraph

Thanks a million, Desert Girl. Hope the other side of the story you linked to get published in Kuwait and in the UK.
the latter is near to the true story,as always here in Kuwait it’s a rumour mongers paradise.. the guy was still drunk and smoking in ramadan while kicking the door of the pizza shop. FACT
