'Damning' - Mail on Sunday 'Gripping and shocking [...] an
unputdownable read' - Stephen Grey, award-winning investigate
journalist and author of GHOST PLANE and THE NEW SPYMASTERS 'This
investigation rings true' - Publishers Weekly On 1 August, 1990,
British Airways Flight 149 departed from Heathrow airport, destined
for Kuala Lumpur. It never made it there, and neither did its
nearly 400 passengers. Instead, Flight 149 stopped to refuel in
Kuwait, as Iraqi troops amassed on the border - delivering the
passengers and crew into the hands of Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi
army, to be used as 'human shields' during their invasion. Why did
BA flight 149 proceed with plans to refuel in Kuwait City, even as
all other flights were rerouted - and even though British and
American governments had clear intelligence that Saddam was about
to invade? The answer lies in an exchange of favours at the highest
echelons of government, and a secret, unaccountable organization -
authorised by Margaret Thatcher - carrying out a 'deniable'
intelligence operation to sneak in a group of intelligence offers
into Kuwait aboard the flight. The plane was the 'Trojan Horse',
and the plan - as well as the horrific, traumatic consequences for
the civilian passengers - has been lied about, denied and covered
up by successive British Governments ever since. Soon to be a major
TV drama, this explosive book is written with the full cooperation
of the survivors, as well as astonishing and conclusive input from
a senior intelligence source. It is a story of scandal, betrayal
and misuse of intelligence at the highest levels of UK and US
governments - which has had direct, horrifying impact on terror
attacks in the West and the shape of the Middle East today. It is
high time the truth is told.
