I don't know how true that was. At the time I was also told that the Iraqi officer in charge was so angered that he gave a gun to the BA captain and told him to shoot the rapist.

I remember being told two days after the invasion that there were 5 SAS guys in Fahaheel who had boarded a BA flight on the night-(I was living in Mahboula)- that was before any movie was made or claims in Parliament. Therefore I firmly believe that the story is true and a shame on the UK govt. Two days until the anniversary.

However, I was there at the SAS Hotel when the flight crew and the ASSAULTED and RAPED stewardess were brought in. The Young Indian Stewardess was distraught, crying and being supported by her fellow Ladies from the crew as they walked her in through the Hotel doors. I was maybee 4 feet away from her and the folks helping her. The Lady was about 5Ft. 5 or 5 Ft.6, with long auburn hair, weighing maybe in the vicinity of 145/150 Lbs.She was sobbing and hysterical and she could not even walk on her own. Luckily later either the British ar Indian Authorities came in to the SAS Hotel and took her away, I supposed to safer surrounding. I have committed her sagga to my tapes upon my return to the US after Saddam released all of us. Of course I got back to Chattanooga on December 12, 1990 and my tapes were made on January 11, 1991.This Young Lady's odessy as well as the oddessy of the KLM Pilot are all committed into my tapes fresh as a new returnee from my ordeal with Saddam and his madness. As a reference do check me out on google as: ElMIloudi Hamid.Also you can read about me in the book written by the Honorable Nathaniel Howell, US Ambassador, Kuwait during the crisis period.Please refer to crisis management, invasion of Kuwait, University of Virginia publishing. My nickname is Mr." Greenjeans" since I have grown the garden at the US Embassy, Kuwait.For my clarifications or extra info contact me : ehamid@aol.com I have not seen the documentary yet to know how accurate the story is.

My younger brother and parents where there, and my brother will not talk about any of what happened, but he told my other brother it was a real depiction of the civilians in Kuwait. I want to understand what changed him so very much from the brother I knew. Where can I buy that movie-any ideas, please e-mail me at selkhet62@yahoo.com.

Believe it or not, Kuwait used to then be an important hub for South-East Asia bound traffic from Europe and the Lebanon. Believe me, I should know - my alter ego was on that flight.
