Stephen Davis: 作为一名记者，我花了30多年的时间调查英国航空149号航班在科威特降落并导致人质危机的事件。我发现英国政府对此事进行了长达30年的掩盖，包括撒谎、歪曲事实和压制证据。撒切尔夫人就英国航空149号航班事件在下议院发表了不实声明，声称飞机在入侵前已完成加油和换乘，但事实是英国政府隐瞒了入侵开始时飞机距离科威特还有一个多小时飞行时间的事实。英国政府最初散布虚假信息，声称人质在豪华酒店享受假期，试图掩盖真相。但实际上，英国航空149号航班的乘客遭受了强奸、性侵犯、模拟处决和饥饿等非人待遇，给他们留下了持久的心理创伤。更令人震惊的是，英国航空149号航班最终被摧毁，据称是应美国的要求。我决心为这些受害者伸张正义，尽管我面临着许多反对，包括来自英国政府和情报部门的虚假信息和骚扰。我希望每个人都知道英国航空149号航班的乘客遭受了可怕的经历，他们应该赢得诉讼并获得赔偿，政府和英国航空公司应该道歉并赔偿。 Stephen Davis: 英国航空149号航班上的一群年轻男子来自一个名为“增量”的秘密行动单位。“增量”小组的任务是监视萨达姆·侯赛因在科威特的军队动向。西方国家担心萨达姆·侯赛因会入侵沙特阿拉伯并控制石油供应。“增量”小组报告说，伊拉克军队没有入侵沙特阿拉伯的迹象，但美国仍然说服沙特国王允许美军驻扎。美国在沙特驻军导致了奥萨马·本·拉登的复仇，并改变了历史的进程。

When British Airways Flight 149 landed in Kuwait on the 2nd of August, 1990, Saddam Hussein's invading army took the passengers hostage. Today, some of those passengers allege that they were subjected to horrific treatment - and that the British government could have averted their ordeal.

In this Debrief, True Spies producer Morgan Childs joins Stephen to discuss his research in to the case.
