Kenyan truck drivers held in school are rescued by British troops

TWO Kenyan truck drivers kidnapped 10 days ago outside the town of Al Zubayr were rescued yesterday when British troops burst into the school in which they were being been held.

David Shira Mukaria and Jakubu Maina Kamau were kept blindfolded, with their hands and feet bound together and without food and water.

They said they had spent their time in captivity praying for rescue or death, listening to their captors deciding whether or not to kill them.
