Ancora Essam Al-Ghalib, che a Basra è stato testimone del fermo dei sette giornalisti italiani:
“As we approached the check point for those leaving Basra, a British soldier told us that someone had used a satellite phone and that had alerted the Iraqis to our presence, and had opened fire on our position as a result. To date, none of the journalists have owned up to making the phone call that almost killed us.”
E’ andata bene, casualmente.
