Truemors
Former British SAS officer Simon Mann was whisked away from his jail cell in Zimbabwe in the early hours of Thursday morning and extradited back to Equatorial Guinea to face the government he tried to overthrow.
Mann, along with others, set up "security consultancy" agencies in the 90's to protect the interests of large corporations and governments in several African countries. His arrest in 2004, along with 60 other mercenaries, at Harare airport on their way to the coup put an end to his business plan.
The son of ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Sir Mark Thatcher, was also put on trial for the 2004 incident however he got off easy with fines. Simon Mann will not be so lucky as he is now in the hands of the "worst despot" in Africa.
