It doesn’t seem to make sense. The Brigades of Swords of Right are an Islamic Iraqi terror group who are against the war in Iraq. They have kidnapped a group of peace activists including a 74 year old man called Norman Kember.
So a group of anti-war activists have kidnapped another group of anti-war activists…
Abu Qatada, a terror suspect who has been held in prison since 2002, is among the many people who have appealed for the release of Kembers and his friends. He pleads that they release them “in line with the principle of mercy of our religion”.
Why kidnap someone who agrees with you politically for political reasons?
