#2 Weinstein being held by Pak Taliban? :

Sources told NBC News that Weinstein is in the custody of militants led by Commander Tariq Afridi, operating in the semi-autonomous tribal region of Darra Adamkhel, sited between Peshawar and Kohat.

It is the same militant group that kidnapped a Polish engineer, Piotr Stancza on Sept. 28, 2009. Stancza was executed on Feb. 6 after their demands were not met.

Some sources said Weinstein was kidnapped by another group and later sold to Afridi, NBC News reported. He is considered the most ruthless among his militant colleagues and is known for his harsh policies.

#3 Piotr Stanczak was excecuted because he would not convert to Islam. That was the demand that was not met.

I don't think they are going to have more success with Weinstein.

#4 I'm always amazed how the uber-zealous Muslims are so polite. They make the snipers' jobs so much easier by banging that bullseye on their foreheads.
