In 2005, 2 operators from the British SAS were on a mission in Iraq to support the MI6 intelligence service. The objective of the mission was to shadow corrupt police officers who had links to terrorist organizations. After they were stopped by this very group and the policemen tried to drag them out of their vehicle, the special forces opened fire and killed 2 of the attackers.

A wild chase by Iraqi police ensued, after which the British finally tried the diplomatic route and stopped. The Iraqis beat up the soldiers, dragged them to Basra prison, and posted their pictures on the Web. Other SAS operators, however, were able to trace their comrades back to the prison and informed senior command. Shortly thereafter, 20 more SAS soldiers from A Squadron 22nd SAS Regiment were flown in and moved to the prison, supported by paratroopers, mechanized infantry and tanks, which provided the outer ring of security. As a last attempt to resolve the matter diplomatically, the British sent 2 officers to the prison, but they were immediately captured as well. At the same time, the Iraqis moved the two SAS soldiers to a nearby safe house and prepared them for execution, but fortunately this was cleared up by a helicopter.

Although the British had little time left, the command wanted to call off the operation. But the angry forces on the ground did not see fit to abandon their comrades and spontaneously went on the offensive...

A brotherhood that no one else could ever understand.
