It is time to end the siege, and the only men with enough skill and daring for this dangerous task are the legendary SAS! In fact, convinced they will eventually be called in, they have already practiced a high-risk rescue operation in their top secret 'Killing House'. On the evening of 5 May - and in the full glare of the international media - twelve SAS soldiers, dressed in black and wielding a deadly arsenal, make their courageous assault on the Embassy...
