Journalist Stephen Davis: British Airways Flight 149 was a "trojan horse" - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

On August 1 in 1990, British Airways Flight 149 departed Heathrow for Kuala Lumpur but it never made it. The flight stopped in Kuwait to refuel - the very same day Saddam Hussein invaded.
The nearly 400 passengers and crew, including two Kiwis, were trapped by Iraqi soldiers and used as human shields.

Stephen Davis speaks to Jack Tame about his investigation.
