Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Rumour has it that the Irish journalist was initially captured by agents of or later transferred to agents of an Iranian Secret Service Agency.
They seemed concerned that British Intelligence was establishing sensors in areas of Baghdad where they are operating. This is not to say that the Irish journalist was an agent of British Intelligence but just that they had suspicions he may have been .
It may be interesting to the Iranians to see the delegation from Ireland arrive, considering its composition. Unlike Ken Bigley and Margaret Hassan who only had a few whimpers and an Irish Passport issued on their behalf by our government ,this young man has two defence force spooks and a Garda Superintendent with close links to the Crime an Security Branch sent out to "save him".
Some people might remember how US president and murderer Bill Clinton thanked this mans father for helping organise the Dundalk showcase where Bill got much cudos with Oirish Amerikans for being a man of the Irish people. Now that must have taken much secret footwork among various border communities, government and secret services. Quite a job for an Irish Times journalist. Coin telp ro ?
Perhaps Bakhtaran might be a better place to look than Baghdad.
That doens't mean anything anymore if it ever did...
"The Dubliner, who writes for The Guardian, was issued with an Irish-language passport to emphasise his nationality in certain parts of the world."
What would he have said if anyone asked him if Ireland was participating wars.( I searched and found no report from him on Ireland or Shannon Airport.) If Ahern answered for him and lied and said nothing, what would happen to him if they found out or already knew we paying for US troops and kidnappings to go through Shannon.

His reporting seems very straight-laced, reporting in good detail on such things as the war in DR-Congo, but just reporting.

Hope he comes out OK
He's been released that gladenned my heart
