Hmm, US troops have thwarted an escape attempt from one of their Iraqi jails. The tunnel that they found was 200 metres (600 feet) long, and extended beyond the security fencing. Sounds very Steve McQueen or Hogan's Heroes, until I read that there had been four prisoners shot dead at this particular prison 'after a routine search in the cells'. That's how the BBC reports it anyways, how can a 'routine search' lead to four prisoner deaths? Brings it back to reality rather than glorified movies and such - most of the Great Escapers were shot dead as well, in reality.
But it's such a catchy tune LOL, and those plucky prisoners, with the whole country a guerilla war zone, it comes across as a POW story rather than a regular prison break out story... oh, and here are some piccies of the tunnel etc...
Oh, and here is a good story from back home, a KFC outlet in Auckland got an E health safety rating after cockroaches were crawling all over a food preparation table and one (cockroach) was found in a Zinger burger. I think I will just go with the chips from KFC for the next couple days LOL, if even that :)
Lunchtime - more again later
