'Taliban' kidnap NYT reporter in Afghanistan |
2009-09-06 |
A New York Times journalist who was visiting the site of the deadly NATO airstrike in north Afghanistan along with his interpreter have been kidnapped, an official says. The provincial governor for Kunduz, where the NATO attack killed nearly 100 people, confirmed that the reporter had been blindfolded by the insurgents and taken to unknown location on Saturday. Afghan army soldiers had found the journalist's abandoned vehicle in the area. The governor added that a search and rescue operation in the region had begun to track down the kidnappers. A regional Taliban commander has said that the Taliban leadership would decide on their fate. |

#3 They're just protecting their ally. This is a typical pretend your after the guy ruse. Probably try and get some money too. Doubt that a thing will happen to him. Cynical SOB ain't I? |
