John Cantlie - Sonic from Fast Bikes
Discussion
Good to hear he is still alive, I do wonder if there is any effort being made behind the scenes to get him out - I fear not.
Don't think bad of me, but for the first 90 secs of that clip I thought, "jeez, he must be standing right next to a massive wasp nest!" - my naivety with all things drone-copter on display for all to see there!

Been a while now since hearing about John, get a bad feeling now IS seem to be on the back foot.
I hope he is alive and gets back to the UK so we can hear his story, it's rather fascinating no matter if he was fully in agreement with IS, was doing it as a desperate way to not getting decapitated or some half way, stockholm syndrome type thing.
Hopefully he gets the chance to tell his story from a rather unique side.

I'm 99% sure that he doesn't believe the nonsense he's forced to spout. We need him home and to hear his story. Still praying for a miracle.

This is worth a watch. This is the guy who was working with and captured at the same time as Cantlie.
Seems they were both subjected to pretty brutal abuse. Weirdly nearly all of the other captives were released who were with Cantlie and Foley. Foley obviously beheaded and Cantlie in the strange role of ISIS PR.

I hope he gets out and there will be one hell of a book to read if he does.

There's been another video released, still keeping himself valuable.

Just curious, is this thread the only reason you're on PH? Seems odd.
Yes it is. Why do you find that odd?In fact I hate this f
king thread as every time it pops up I'm dreading bad news but have to click in anyway. Me even replying to this thread probly causes the same 'distress' to others here.Dr Doofenshmirtz said:
Sorry...yeah I know I sucks when this thread pops back up.
My thoughts are with John what with troops heading for Mosul (where his last video was filmed).
I can't help wondering where he is, how he is etc.
It'll be a miracle if he is still alive My thoughts are with John what with troops heading for Mosul (where his last video was filmed).

with all the to and fro of territory being fought over by multiple forces.All the best to him though.
