PETER CAVE: Their hostage, being held by two more masked men in the car, was wounded in the arm, his blue jeans covered in blood.
He had blonde hair and a moustache and appeared more defiant than scared as they roughly yanked his head across so we could see his face. (Audio excerpt recorded on scene)
PETER CAVE: Do you want to give us your name?
AMERICAN HOSTAGE: Hamil (phonetic), Thomas.
American (Southern accent) fighting spirit at its finest!!!!
I hope he makes it out...
