Bedfordshire Gulf War hostage takes legal action

Available for over a year

BA passengers and crew taken hostage in the Gulf war are taking legal action against the government and airline. Bryony Reynolds from Bedfordshire was a flight attendant and chats to Nicola Haseler. The Foreign Office told us: "The responsibility for these events and the mistreatment of those passengers and crew lies entirely with the government of Iraq at the time." A British Airways spokesman said "UK government records released in 2021 confirmed British Airways was not warned about the invasion."
