Mike Powell to Alexander Koryagin:

AK>> "The  pair  may  have been helped by a civilian who did
AK>> not recognise them to leave the area".

MP> It is very oddly worded.  It would make more sense as:
MP>
MP> "The pair may have been helped by a  civilian,  who  did
MP> not recognise them, to leave the area."  (OK)

I  agree  that  the  lack  of commas is confusing, but there
presense is even worse, for it turns  a  restrictive  clause
into a parenthetical one.
