#1 Link goes...where?

And as an aside, I hate the articles where there's only a link and nothing else. Why bother?

#2 oh sht sorry about that i do apolagise, see someone found about a bit more on AFP, it came on sky news just before i posted it and im not to computer savvy as you may have noticed but i had to say,sorry shan't do it again. about the story, my first thought are pissed off Shias,seems a bit unlike the Kurds but its very very interesting - will the trial still go ahead, could it even be a 'fake' kidnapping to delay the trial? will he appear on t.v??

#4 Shep no apologies needed thanks for the heads up.

I wonder if we'll see Zark on video with a nice dull knife again...

#8 The judge wouldn't give them the 3-month delay they demanded, so they furnished it themselves.

Even if this is a legitimate kidnapping, by sympathy meter is still busted.

#13 If you see Zark on video (new video) I'll donate $25 to rantburg. He hasn't been seen since around mid year, when he was proclaimed dead.

#14 Shep, I've posted just a headline and link when all the key info. is available with such minimal information -- it saves a little of Fred's bandwidth, which begins to offset all I've used commenting on other peoples' posts. ;-)

#15 Shep UK -- actually, he was holed out after Los Pepes and would have "gone all out" and retaliated even worse than before if his wife and daughter had received safe haven. However, Germany denied them entry and the plane had to return to Columbia, so he remained in hiding until finally the son of the Search Bloc commander FINALLY spotted Escobar through an apartment window; Escobar was either killed in the shootout or executed.

Gotta admit, though, the sight of his little daughter singing "Los Pepes are coming to kill my father, my mother and me" ain't a pretty sight...

I call BS and that it's faked -- the Shias at last check were too politically savvy (or at least following savvy clerics) to risk this; they already didn't trigger a sectarian civil war, why risk the 'pwning' of Saddam for one lawyer?
