An NHS doctor accused of kidnapping a British journalist in Syria has had all the charges against him dropped.
Shajul Islam, 27, and a second man, Jubayer Chowdhury, 25, were charged with kidnapping photographer John Cantlie and his Dutch colleague Jeroen Oerlemans in the war torn country in July last year.
But the Crown Prosecution Service today formally dropped the case on the first day of the scheduled trial after it emerged neither the two alleged victims are able to give evidence in the trial.
