Has Foreign Office got wrong kidnappers?
By [bbanks] Foreign Office officials working to free a Lincoln man held hostage in Iraq may have been negotiating with the wrong people for two years. The shocking revelation comes from ex-Foreign Office minister Kim Howells, who held the post at the time of the kidnapping in May 2007. Lincoln IT consultant Peter Moore was captured at the Ministry of Finance in Baghdad along with four security guards. Two were confirmed dead last month. In a BBC interview on Radio 4’s The Report last night, Mr Howells said he had become “very frustrated” with the Iraqi government.
