| [Pak Daily Times] An Afghan Taliban capo demanded Dr Aafia Siddiqui's release in exchange for a British woman welfare worker, presently in the captivity of the Afghan Taliban, a private TV channel reported on Monday. According to a report carried by a British daily, Taliban are holding a British welfare worker hostage and are demanding that Dr Aafia be released in exchange for setting free the former, the channel said. The British daily quoted Taliban capo as saying that the British aid worker had been kidnapped, following the announcement of Dr Aafia's 86-year sentence. The woman had been picked up on way to Jalalabad, along with three Afghan workers. In the past, it has been the British government's practice to not pay ransom for release of their nationals. However, The infamous However... US authorities and British government have been in touch on the matter, the channel reported. |

| #2 I knew this tit-for-tat would happen. Anytime we capture a high value terrorist we can expect a kidnapping of western alliance persons or soldiers. Better to kill them on the battle field or death sentence. Personally I prefer death on the battlefield. I hope Algore ain't planning on traveling overseas LOL |
