'The Bodyguards Were Second-Class Citizens'

BBC News - UK hostage killings: Militant group leader apologises
IT expert Peter Moore, from Lincoln, was freed in December 2009, but his captors killed his four bodyguards.

Sheik Qais al-Khazali, leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq - or League of the Righteous - blamed the UK for the deaths.
He said it "was not serious" in negotiations and had regarded the bodyguards as "second-class citizens".
Alec MacLachlan, from Llanelli, South Wales, Jason Swindlehurst, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, Jason Creswell, originally from Glasgow, and Alan McMenemy, from Glasgow, were acting as bodyguards for Mr Moore when they were all taken hostage.
