Two more Family’s were devastated this week after receiving news that more hostages have been killed in Iraq, Alan McMenemy and Alec Maclachlan were the latest two from the original five kidnapped in 2007 to be reported dead.
The Family’s are reported as saying that the Government did not do enough in trying to secure their release, sadly this probably is true. But its clear that negotiation would only encourage further hostage taking, If it were a member of my family I would be screaming for the powers that be to do everything and anything to get them back, but ultimately would have to accept that this would only make things worse.
One more hostage Peter Moore out of the original five remains in the kidnappers hands, let us hope for his safe return though that does seem unlikely now. I have commented in this blog previously that maybe our citizens should be stopped from going to work in these trouble spots for their own good , I reiterate that desire again today.
