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]

    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…..

  4. Mark says:

    thanks Abdullah, just posted the update

  5. safi says:

    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.

  7. 3azeez says:

    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…

  8. 3azeez says:

    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.

  11. curlysue says:

    No I’m not a racist I’m a pragmatist. And I only state what I see happening around me.

  12. Bashar says:

    Maybe it is fake, but nit far from true with these bailouts of terrorists!

  13. nxman says:

    This story is a rumor only denied by Ku government and the UK embassy be careful what you post.

  14. 3azeez says:

    nxman, do you want the UN to deny it Too?

  15. curlysue says:

    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!

  16. Strawberry Fields says:

    Was he one of the “Beatles” members?

  17. Ghostface says:

    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!

  18. blair says:

    we already are terrorists is the west point of view and know we are for the entire world .

  19. iLucifer says:

    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.

  20. Bashar says:

    so you knew its not true, just delete the post to avoid false headlines gets index by google?

  21. Baby Girl says:

    The guy is a friend of mine and its not a lie. He’s home safe and sound now bless him. Curly Sue … u need to get a life, what are you an ignorant 15 year old who knows nothing of what happens outside the walls of their own house? Honestly, welcome to the real world!

    Thanks a million, Desert Girl. Hope the other side of the story you linked to get published in Kuwait and in the UK.

  23. Dog Face says:

    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
