Another Foreign Worker Kidnapped - Pakistan
Edited on Sun Jun-27-04 02:49 PM by dArKeR
Turkey has rejected on Sunday the demands of Islamic militants who are threatening to behead three of its kidnapped citizens during a visit by President George Bush to Turkey.

An apparently different group of militants threatened to behead a Pakistani hostage if American forces do not release some prisoners being held in Iraq within the next three days.

In a declaration broadcast by the Arab language television station Al-Arabiya, three masked gunmen said the countdown began with the airing of the tape. The Pakistani hostage, who displayed an identification card issued by the U.S. firm Kellogg, Brown & Root, also appeared on the tape.

The masked men did not say whether they were affiliated with any group.

Tell me if these were Halliburton executives if there'd be a deal like Reagan made? Tell me if aWol's daughters were being held he wouldn't pay a ransom!

Our taxes pay for all of Government politicians salaries, all of their travel, all of their food, all of their booze and prostitutes... And look, when the taxpayer needs help they let us die! Thank you 'Coalition of Disciples of Satan'!

1. The wierd thing is, when Bush first got into office, he changed the
hostage reaction to the US. He said he would negotiate with terrorists.
