dailymail.co.uk

Three men have been sentenced to over eight years in prison for attempting to kidnap Israeli DJ Itay Kashti in Wales. They lured him to a remote cottage under false pretenses, claiming to be from a record label. The kidnappers, Faiz Shah, Mohammad Comrie, and Elijah Ogunnubi-Sime, planned the operation meticulously but failed in execution. They were arrested after Kashti escaped and alerted authorities, leading police to find them hiding in nearby fields. The court heard that the men had financial and political motives, targeting Kashti due to his Jewish heritage. They had prepared supplies for a week-long captivity but were thwarted by Kashti's quick thinking and the taxi driver's intervention.
