British sailors admit 'intrusion'
2007-04-02
ONE of the two British naval personnel featured on new footage aired on Iranian state television admitted to apparently entering Iranian territorial waters while another said he understood why Iran was angry about their intrusion. Footage aired on Sky News in Britain showed the pair with accompanying audio - which Iranian television has not broadcast - standing in front of an Iranian chart of the northern Gulf waters where the two, and 13 others, were seized on March 23.

Britain insists the eight sailors and seven marines were on a routine anti-smuggling patrol in Iraqi waters under a UN mandate, but the Islamic republic says they strayed into its territorial waters. The video shows Captain Chris Air speaking to the camera while pointing to the charts, saying that at "approximately about 10 o'clock in the morning, we were seized, apparently at this point here, from their maps, from the GPS they've shown us, which is inside Iranian territorial waters". Capt Air went on to say that thus far, the group, which includes one woman, had "been treated very well by all the people here".

#3  I've been waiting for the Iraqi govt to condemn the kidnapping. Unless I've missed it, it doesn't look like its gonna happen.

#2  What the hell ever happened to name, rank and serial numbers?

Wonder if anyone has made a detailed animation of the GPS mapping. Think Hannity may have had one up for a short time.
