One photograph in particular stands out from the rest:
A WHITE WOMAN wearing a deep blue head scarf (a hijab) which
covers her hair. The name SUSAN HELEN DANFORD appears beneath
the picture, as well as the name “AYESHA AL-HADY.”
Another picture shows Danford without her hijab. She’s an
attractive woman in her early thirties.
In yet another she is with a man named ABDULLAH AL-HADY - who
we will learn is her husband.
Still other pictures of her show her in various foreign
locations. A few copies of different PASSPORTS show her image
with different names: ALLISON WEST, REBECCA SUTTON.
Below the images of Danford and Al-Hady are dozens of other
YOUNG FACES - some Western dressed, some local Somali
fighters with weapons.
Some have been inked out in red.
POWELL stares at the image of Danford for a moment.
Then her computer BLEEPS and she turns to check her in-box.
An email message comes up with A PICTURE OF A YOUNG ARMY
CORPORAL in a wheelchair wearing PROSTHETIC LEGS. We read:
YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 5.
Dear Colonel Powell
The new legs are good. I can walk to the shops, but I don’t
see the point in doing that, or in doing anything.
Captain Kirby has suggested...
She scrolls to the end:
... to be honest, I wish I had died.
Corporal Shane Allen.
Powell sits staring blankly at the picture of the crippled
soldier. She is, for a moment, lost. Then she begins to type
a reply.
Dear Corporal Allen
Do not lose hope. Once you recover, I promise to assist in
reassigning you...
As she types, an INCOMING EMAIL ALERT pops up on her screen.
Subject:
“More news on Ben.”Powell stops writing her reply to the first email.
She hesitates, then opens the new one.
We READ:
This was posted an hour ago.
http:
//www.al-news.org/watch_now/Still can’t believe we lost him.
Good luck this morning.
Talk later.
Frank
POWELL steels herself. Then reluctantly clicks on the link in
the email.
It shows HAND HELD FOOTAGE of A YOUNG, DEAD, AFRICAN MAN in
plain clothes lying in filth in an alley. He has been shot in
the back of the head. Blood pools around his shoulders.
YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 6.
The VOICE of a REPORTER plays over the footage, which cuts to
various images of Al-Shabaab Militants chanting with weapons
raised, and graphics of the geographical area described.
REPORTER’S VOICE
Somali Al-Shabaab militants have
posted this picture of an unnamed
man they say they have executed in
Nairobi. The group claims he was
working for British military
intelligence attempting to
infiltrate their international
recruitment networks. Al-Shabaab
want to impose their strict version
of Sharia law across the horn of
Africa. They bitterly resent the
role of Britain and the Kenyan
military in propping up the UN
backed Somali government in
Mogadishu. The Ministry of Defense
has declined to comment, but
denounced the execution as
“sickening.”
