Scots dad jailed in Iraq over 'Qatar Bank debt' has flight home delayed

A Scots man locked up in Iraq for the past two months will have to wait for his homecoming after his flight home was delayed.

Brian Glendinning, 43, from Kincardine in Fife, was jailed in Baghdad in September after touching down at Basrah airport in September to start a new job. However, the dad-of-three was detained on an Interpol Red Notice from Qatar over a debt he allegedly owed to the Qatar National Bank.

Brian is believed to have took a £20,000 loan while working in Doha in 2016, and was unable to keep up to date with the repayments when he lost his job in Scotland, but a mystery donor stepped in to wipe the debt.
