Simon Mann and Mark Thatcher

Simon Mann's release from prison in Equatorial Guinea must be making his old mate Mark 'Scratcher' Thatcher very nervous.
Mercenary leader Mann, and others including Nick du Toit, were the fall guys for a failed coup of the oil-rich African state. Mann said at his trial that the Wonga Coup was funded by Sir Mark, Margaret's boy, and Lebanese millionaire Eli Calil.
Calil said of Mann after the former SAS man's trial: 'It was his lack of professionalism, his lack of discretion, his lack of judgement that caused this situation.'
I would imagine that after five years inside the Black Beach jail that Mann and his fellow dogs of war may be feeling some bitterness toward Thatcher and Calil.
In a letter to his wife before the trial Mann said: 'It may be that getting us out comes down to a large splodge of wonga.'
The wonga, if it ever arrived, seems to have taken a long time to do the trick.
We've not heard the last of this.
Here's the original Sky News report after Mann was jailed.
