The programming in the article so far is that Iran's revolutionary guard patrol thier waters ready to snatch and take hostage anyone who comes near..... I'll read on

Troubling echo of the kidnap of 15 Royal Navy personnel in 2007.(kidnap? not detention then? :wtf

Diplomats say they have been in 'indirect contact' with the hostages (hostages? not sailors then?)

The worst case scenario would see the sailors charged with espionage, handing the regime in Tehran (regieme?.... not Iranian Government then?)

The fear is that the hostages have been taken by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard - the powerful hardline group behind Iran's nuclear weapons programme - which held the Navy personnel two years ago.

What fear? It already states in the HEADING that Irans Revolutionary Guard has detained the sailors.....

(Nuclear weapons programme? :wtf This is implying that (a) Iran has a nuclear weapons programme (b) There is a 'powerful' 'hardline' group behind the programme.... (the same guys who wait for any opportunity to 'snatch' 'kidnap' and take 'hostage' anyone who inadvertently strays into thier waters?)

The kidnap comes at a time of growing tensions with Iran over its nuclear weapons programme.....

(again inciting that Iran has a Nuclear Weapons Programme)..... they have however stated thier enrichment of uranium is to provide power only and there is no evidence they are actively seeking to make nuclear weapons....

(there is however about as much evidence that Iraq had W.M.D'S!) and look what happened threre.....

Earlier this year President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proclaimed that Britain was a worse enemy of Iran than the United States....

(read: Iran is an enemy of the UK :thumbsup
They kidnapped some naval soldiers last year too didnt they? You guys should wear the "Most hated by Iran" badge with PRIDE. F--K the mullahs!!!
