I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

1. A synopsis would be useful.

2. What is the relevance to the RBL, as this seems something you have plucked from thin air.

3. Finally you could have mentioned the article is by Professor Paul Rogers from Bradford University rather than a Guatdanista. I have met Paul Rogers. He gave a short presentation on his Peace and Conflict Resol course. No mere academic, this was full hands on training. Some students were to negotiate the release of some hostages (other students) held captive by terrorists (more students).

As the negotiators made their way to a remote farm cottage they were stopped and captured by 4 Para and themselves taken prisoner where they joined all the other students similarly captured by this rival group.

The article is indeed worth a read, especially if you are in your last 5 years and have the appropriate skills set for BAE.
