BRITISH diplomats had a satellite phone stolen in Baghdad...and only noticed it was missing after a bill for FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS was run up.

The invoice shows thousands of phone calls made to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, bases for al-Qaeda terror networks. MI6 spy chiefs fear the "Thuraya" phone was used by insurgents to plot a wave of suicide bombings across Iraq.

Now furious Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has launched a major investigation INTO phpbb_how the theft was allowed to happen - and why nothing was done until the huge bill was uncovered.

Doesn't this mean they now have a big old list of co-ords to carpet bomb now?

Hat's off to our boys - those stupid Iraqi insurgents fell for the oldest trick in the book. They've obviously never watched "Troy".

What a masterstroke!!!

...what's that Jack? What do you mean it wasn't deliberate?
