"Update: Rescued British servicemen were being held by militia

THE two British servicemen whose capture led to the storming of a jail in Iraq were later rescued from militiamen, senior army officials said today. Brigadier John Lorimer, commander of the 12th mechanised brigade, said the two men were actually found at a house in the city after troops broke into the prison at a police HQ to look for them. He said that the jailbreak had been ordered after Iraqi security services - supposedly allies of the British military - handed the two servicemen over to militiamen."
