The Malta Independent this morning published the exclusive story of Martin Galea, the Maltese oil company worker who was abducted in Libya earlier this month and released on Monday after 11 days in captivity.

The former AFM captain has told a chilling tale of how he heard his captives plotting his execution, and how their idea for a birthday present was to fire shots inches away from his head.

The story as published in the newspaper this morning and online is generating overwhelming interest in the gruesome experience a Maltese citizen went through in the hands of Libyan rebels.

Now that you’ve read his story, you can listen to Martin Galea saying it. These are the first two parts of the interview given to The Malta Independent.

Third part of the interview will be uploaded shortly.
