And, his ... friend ... how one point he managed to escape onto the streets of Basra after his captors briefly left him alone. He's offered protections from the guards of a nearby government building. But, someone picked up the kidnappers. Within minutes, he was back in their hands. Forced to record a video message, he became convinced like other foreign hostages in Iraq he was going to be beheaded. But, it never came to that. Just 20 hours after being ..., Jame Brandon suddenly found himself handed over to a representative of Muqtada al-Sadr and facing the world's media a free man.
