Mathew Maguire's Birthday

Press Release published by on Monday, June 1, 2009.

Today, June 1 is Mathew Maguire's birthday. He has spent close to 9 months in
captivity and we hope to release him today as his gift.

Due to safety concerns, we wish to alert the British High Commission of our
intentions so they can inform the government to put a leash on the overzealous JTF
who may plan to ambush the fighters along with Mathew to score cheap publicity that
he was rescued by them.

His company may begin the process of receiving him tonight while we make
arrangements for a safe drop off zone.
