doctors and a patient who was handcuffed to a bed frame.
There was one more twist. Two days before the snatch squad arrived, Al-Houssona
had arranged to deliver Jessica to the Americans in an ambulance. "I told her I
will try and help you escape to the American Army but I will do this very

instructed the driver to go to the American checkpoint. When he was approaching
it, the Americans opened fire. They fled just in time back to the hospital. The
Americans had almost killed their prize catch.
