A superfit SAS veteran who was 'poisoned' by fumes from an ISIS cocktail is now claiming £200,000 compensation.
Adam Dobby, 54, had been working as a security consultant for CNN when he was allegedly repeatedly exposed to toxic chemicals in torched oil and sulphur.
Mr Dobby is suing Cable News International Limited at London's High Court as he claims one of his lungs was so damaged he requires a transplant.
The former SAS operative, who was once fit enough to run 56-hour ultra marathons in the Libyan desert, says he was not properly protected while working as an independent contractor in the warzone.
But the company has denied liability for his injury, pointing out that Mr Dobby had worked in the same areas as its news crews - and that no risk of respiratory issues was identified at the time or after.
