Iraq
Insurgents run up $1m phone bill
2005-11-01
BRITAIN'S Foreign Office says it is investigating the loss of a satellite phone in Iraq, amid reports it was stolen by insurgents who ran up a $1.21 million bill. The telephone, registered with the British Embassy in Baghdad, was barred from use in June after bill discrepancies were noticed. The Foreign Office would not confirm reports the phone was stolen by insurgents.

With weapons prices what they are of late, a call to arms can really rack up the charges.

Let's hope these absent-minded embassy f&%kwits at least managed to get some targeting coordinates out of the deal.
