Hi,
"We were doing the Basra to Mosul run weekly and we were all around the bad areas north of Baghdad, like Taji and Samara. I lost three different team leaders to injury. Guys were getting malleted all the time."
I am not sure what the sentence in red means:-
Three different team leaders of his team were unable to discharge their duties because of injury?
They died of injury?
Fitzsimons's British lawyers, John Tipple and Nick Wrack, are due to return to London today after instructing local counsel. They will step up efforts to have him extradited to the UK under an unused extradition provision in the Iraqi legal code that dates back to the 1930s.
"We are not going to let the British government hang him out to dry," said Tipple. "He is a British national and the right place for him to be tried, if at all, is at home."
What do "instructing local counsel" and "let the British government hang him out to dry" mean?
Thanks in advance
