About this episode
When a British minister tells reporters that John Cantlie is still alive in February 2019, the search is on again. What does the British government know? Anthony Loyd shares his conclusions.
In 2012, British photojournalist John Cantlie was kidnapped in Syria by Islamic State. While his fellow hostages were released or murdered, he remained captive. Then, a series of Isis propaganda videos emerged, fronted by Cantlie. He hasn’t been seen since. In this new series, the Times’ war correspondent Anthony Loyd sets out to investigate the life - and fate - of the missing hostage.
Hosts: Manveen Rana and Anthony Loyd, special correspondent, The Times.
