Report: Canadians Held Americans Hostage in Syria
2014-09-04
[An Nahar] Three Canadians were directly involved in the kidnapping of two American journalists by Islamist Death Eaters in Syria, Canada's public broadcaster reported Wednesday.

Citing unnamed sources, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation said the trio -- whose identities are unknown -- forced captives Theo Curtis and Matt Schrier to reveal their computer passwords, then drained their bank accounts and racked up credit card bills.

They also wrote to the two journalists' families pretending to be the men, the CBC said. The Canadian government said it is investigating.

Curtis and Schrier were held in captivity together between 2012 and 2013. Curtis was released by the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front last month while Schrier escaped last year.

Ottawa has said as many as 130 Canadians are fighting overseas with krazed killer groups. Some estimates put the figure much higher.

#6  Maybe so as now, but there a lot of brainwashing going on by the hip-hop crowd and soon you'll find out a whole lot of Mohamed and Abdullah were actually born Macpherson and Robertson.

#5  I really would like to know the percentage that were born in the west and radicalized vs the ones that leached off the west until it was time.

The former started to leach in the maternity ward.

#1  Aye, Canadians, no doubt 3rd generation farmers and lumbermen with red and black checked thermal shirts named McWhirter, Gibson, Dufois etc....

What, No??? Ya don't say - Abdul, Muhammad and Faisal?? - who'da thunk?

Can we please, MSM, get over identifying these scum as Canadians, Americans, Australians, Britons etc? They owe no allegiance to the country that foolishly bestowed a passport on them.
