24 hours to live...
...that's that Wall Street journalist has if his Pakistanian terrorist kidnappers (The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty) demands aren't met.
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/south/01/30/pakistan.wsj.hunt/index.html"; target="_blank">The story so far...</a>
The first set of demands were to have the families of the detainees be able to visit them. Plus have legal council. They claimed the journalist was a CIA agent...
...wait ...nope, he's now believed to be an agent of Israel's Mossad. And the demands have changed. They want the detainees released and also that the US send the F-16's Pakistan purchased to them..or the government...or something like that. Ending the demands (via email) with, "Therefore we will execute him within 24 hours unless America fulfills our demands, We apologize to his family for the worry caused and we will send them food packages."
Jeez, this is weird. They sound like a bunch of morons (what terrorists aren't?). Pakistani authorities say they have arrested a prime suspect and I hope they'll find them and rescue this poor fellow.
I was wondering if they could track these morons through their email connections. We've done it with hackers and pedos here why not there?

What the hell is going on here? Doesn't anyone care about this person? :eek:
Not that that would help his family one bit...
<strong>they aren't going to kill the guy. that's why they extended it. killing the guy gets them nothing.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You're right Applenut..if they kill him it's worth than getting nothing...they've just majorly fuxored themselves by gaining the vitriol of one 800lb Gorilla named the USA. Lead by the Masterful Trainer GW Bush. Man these idiots aren't thinking.
Who are these stupid people who think their going to get their demands met...
It doesnt look good for dan...
And is it just me or is dans wife a little bit apathetic towards the whole situation? (pregnant or not)... I would have to think I would have seen a tear... I havent seen much footage, but the stuff I have seen of her is rather... dry.

Does this mean we get to execute these guys?
Do we know if this group has that kind of power?
Was that line about the food packages meant to be ironic?

Yea I don't know. I think this may be an example of the complete bias in the media in that region. Since the war ended they have reopened the roads, a bridge in the north, an important mountain tunnel. Food is coming in more now than before the war. The starvation is avoided this winter.
I'm guessing this important news didn't make it in the arab/muslim press. Doesn't fit in with the whole "Great Satan controlled by evil Jews" byline.
I don't believe em. all killing him would do is get themselves killed
<strong>I heard a report on NPR that he was dead.</strong><hr></blockquote>
it's the same report that is on all the news channels. they got another e-mail saying they killed him yet the pakistan US embassy got a ransom note so who knows
<strong>now there are reports he's dead.
I don't believe em. all killing him would do is get themselves killed</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah but that's rational thinking.
