CNN has cleared up by printed scroll, it’s an ISIS flag he wants. He has a brother monitoring media...so maybe one of two that the man who bumped him outside saw.

She is trying to get home, so other than the current transportation situation she doesn’t have much information. She requested prayers.

Islam is not a race, it shouldn’t even be considered a religion, it’s more like a cult, similar to Scientology. Even though they are completely different entities, they share some important commonalities. They cannot tolerate criticism or ridicule. Scientology reacts with litigation, islam reacts with violence. They cannot tolerate apostates, scientology reacts with harassment and character assassination, as ex-scieno Leah Remini learned the hard way, islam reacts with violence, as untold millions learned the hard way. And they need to disguise themselves as religions in order to conceal their true agendas. Scientology, in the guise of a religion, is nothing more than an elaborate scam devised by L Ron Hubbard a 4th-rate sci-fi writer and low level con artist whose primary objective was to separate the rich and famous from as much of their $$$ as possible. Islam, in the guise of a religion, is a brutal, tyrannical, absolutist, racist, misogynist political/social order devised by mohammed, a hashish abusing child molester whose primary objectives wwre to rule the world and screw as many little girls as he could get his filthy hands on.

ABC 24 has replayed the clips of the people escaping several times. This young lady’s panic - and relief at being free - are so obvious.

As was posted a few posts above, that’s a front page photo.

I think that CNN must have a direct feed and source, as Fox news is still on prerecorded program, as is OAN, and others.

“Yeah, sure, we’ll send someone up to Syria to get one and let you know when they get back.”

I still believe they’re being released...esepcially since they’re now trying to find a flag for him...they will only give for release of hostages...nothing will be a freebee for this creep.

I rarely look at CNN, but right now, they are the only NEWS constant on this situation...Fox still on preprogrammed show with Stosell...maybe afterward. None other reporting. Fox had some blips over a few hours but only constant with view of Café is CNN now.

I hope you’re right - if he’s releasing people, that’s a very good sign.

TThey asked Muslims in the community for one....like they’re going to step forward and show they are even associated!

We’re seeing these people released because negotiators will not give this b*stard anything without a release of people. So they are negotiating.

I meant her face is reporting not good news, especially if she was the one in the window of the store, and escaped.

Agreed. That is what I saw. That was a sign of terror and panic. Grasping onto a savior. I think things are ugly on the inside.

Hostages have been able to talk with two media outlets. No details as to what has been said is being released.
