Stephen Malcolm Support Thread - Kidnapped!
Some of you will have seen reports about a Anglo/South African motorcyclist who was apparently kidnapped in Mali late last year!
BBC News - Mali kidnapping: One dead and three seized in Timbuktu
Early reports failed to mention a name. It has become apparent this chaps name is in fact - STEPHEN MALCOMB.
Looks like the bastards have already murdered a German rider in cold blood!
I am surprised that no one here on the HUBB has posted a thread updating the situation and generally supporting this bloke who is clearly in a very dangerous position.
He was after all a fellow RTW adventure biker who had embarked on a trans African tour.
I see the latest news is NOT good news -

I have other similar links for those wishing to keep abreast of the situation including English language sites etc... If anyone wants these, please PM me. I'm not sure if the links should be put out on open forum like this?
Not much out there about this kidnap not even in the latest version of INSPIRE -

I don't suppose the UK government will comply with their request for Abu Quatada to be released (and exchanged with Stephen).
Same old..... another Innocent Westerner kidnapped just because the colour of his skin and fact he was born in the West. Makes me utterly sick to the pit of my stomach. I hope his kidnappers all get what they deserve in the end (a rocket up the arse from a Predator pilotless drone)...
This poor chap deserves our support. Any one of us could easily find ourselves in a similar position. All it takes is being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
