Hopefully plenty of the captors got the good news as well.

CMD is saying that they were murdered before a rescue could be effected.

Hopeful plenty of the captors got lifted so the Nigerian intelligence service can kill them to death at leisure after they have squeeled their every memory since nursery school.

R.I.P. and sincere condolences to the families friends.
BBC reporting that the kidnappers have been captured - accidentally, they were not killed.
With Vince Cable in charge of the present apology for a government, stand-by for the 'kidnappers' and their families to be given asylum in GB; and the full range of 'benefits'.
I am loath to express my cynicism in this tragic matter, but that is how it appears to me. The truth is far better out than in.

Interesting to see how this is played later on re: not commenting on SF activities (unless there is some reflected glory for the government).

The support could have been intelligencelogistics etc not necessarily SF, I suppose it's all a moot point anyway now.

British and Italian hostages killed in Nigeria
Wonder what wrong here , guess Them did not get enough time?
"Cameron said that earlier on Thursday he authorised British involvement in the rescue of the two hostages after "credible information" was received about their location. But early indications suggest they had been killed before they could be rescued."
