Off the top of my head, this has more to do with BP and getting control of flowing oil.....just sayin.

I am taking the position that the British Government and BP have a close working relationship. Notice I said British which includes the Scots and explains the Lockerbie terrorist release of 2009. Eight SAS soldiers are tough hombres and would not allow themselves (at least not ALL eight) to be taken captive that easily unless under orders to do so. They are there to negotiate something in the favor of BP and the British Government, possibly in that order.
