    Only cos the bed-wetting hostages realised what was happening & hid him amongst themselves.
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Wrong.

      After the assault ended, the last surviving gunman, Fowzi Nejad, posed as a hostage and was escorted outside the embassy with the others. There, a real hostage quickly identified him as one of the attackers.

        Yes and he was been led to a quieter part of the garden for disposal when the SAS chaps spotted some journilists on the roof of an adjacant building. Lucky chap, he's out now living on your taxes.

          It happens. Just like Harry Maguire, a pillar of the community now...

            Dunno... seems pretty conclusive

            Large sections of the report have been blanked out, including the entire account of the SAS raid itself. Also missing are annexes detailing the equipment used by the SAS and the rules of engagement for the soldiers, who were later the subject of an inquiry into whether they had unlawfully killed two of the hostage takers.

            The document nonetheless reveals how ministers and police were concerned that some of the hostages had developed Stockholm Syndrome, the process where abducted prisoners identify with and ultimately defend their captors.<snip>

              Also taken from the Independant article...

              * FOWZI NEJAD

              The only hostage taker to survive the SAS assault by hiding himself among the captives, Nejad was seen being led back into the building to face possible execution. He was jailed for life but is now eligible for parole. He has applied for asylum in Britain, claiming he would face torture if forced to return to Iran. Trevor Lock has said he believes Nejad's life sentence should mean he is never released.
