I was about to die

Article Abstract:

John Martinkus, an Australian journalist for SBS Network who had visited Iraq to report on the occupation reveals about how he was kidnapped at gunpoint from outside a hotel in Baghdad and his experiences in captivity. The Iraqi Mujahidien had mistakenly kidnapped him assuming that he was a CIA agent or a member of Mossad, the Israeli secret service. The hotel that was thought safe from attack proved to be insecure and riddled with spies for the resistance and many journalists have since declared that they cannot work further in Iraq and were leaving.

The lost battalion.

Article Abstract:

Indonesian army officials have found a new job for their notorious Battalion 744 men who have been deployed in West Aceh since they cannot be sent home because of due rights abuse cases pending against them. The battalion made up of East Timorese guerillas are embroiled in one controversy or the other, ranging from killing innocent civilians or fights in bars and even rioting, but their commanders can do little due to the various cases.
