The foreign office may have been working behind the scenes but it didnt do much good. Why?? because they wont pay the ransom demand. There were 5 or 6 other hostages..assorted europeans and canadians, and they have all long since gone home, because their governments paid the ransom. Im not sure if this current policy is the right one.
I know the old theory, you pay one and their will be an upsurge in hostage taking...but I guess you have to take a chance. The time has come for a change in policy now, let that man's death be the last death. Have perhaps an insurance fund with Lloyds to cover it.
