Norman Kimber Rescue - The Real Truth

1) 02.00 hours. SAS operative infiltrates building by seducing an
attractive female terrorist, as is standard practice according to
the Lewis Collins film 'Who Dares Wins'.


2) 05.00 hours. Royal Canadian Mounted Police deployed with the
aim of rendering terrorists paralyzed with shock at the sight of
lantern-jawed men in bright red uniforms and big hats coming
through the door on horseback brandishing revolvers and shouting
'The Mounties always get their man!'


3) 09.00 hours. Ministry of Defence press office issues
exaggerated account of the rescue, implying that a thrilling
firefight has taken place between terrorists and soldiers of the
world's most highly-trained regiment, only to have to sheepishly
admit shortly afterwards that the terrorists weren't at home when
the SAS popped round.


4) 12.00 hours. Andy McNab gets order to 'GO GO GO!' and is
airlifted to ITV lunchtime news studios by helicopter to begin
hours of pointless speculation about what might have happened.


5) 17.00 hours. SAS officers begin negotiations for book rights
with publishing companies. The rescue, in which no shots were
fired, is turned into the best-selling blood-and-guts SAS real-
life thriller yet.
