AdvertisementPictures of SAS soldiers abseiling down the walls of the Iranian Embassy moments before they rescued hostages inside have become synonymous with the regiment. In new, exclusive pictures, hostages are seen lying on the ground behind number 14 and 15 Princess Gate, otherwise known as the Royal College of Gen practitioners, next door to the Iranian Embassy. Thankfully, he was spotted by one of the hostages, Sim Harris, a BBC sound recordist who had been inside the embassy waiting for a visa. But following his release in 2008, British authorities ruled they could not deport him because it would breach the Human Rights Act. He is believed to have survived on handouts while living in council accommodation in London.
