A former Royal Marine has revealed the terrifying moment a jihadi terrorist tried to kidnap him off the streets of Baghdad.
Lee West shared his memory of the intense scene which saw him and a colleague staring down the barrel of an AK47 as the soldier contemplated being kidnapped by Al-Qaeda and losing his life.
Lee recalled how he and colleague Marc Lewis were heading back from helping out at the Combat Support Hospital in Baghdad’s Green Zone - a fenced-off safe area held by coalition forces.
