[the Real fifi]

Maybe. Does anyone have any information to support this suspicion. I am convinced BTW the Japanese were not real "hostages" and I hope Japanese intel spends a considerable amount of time with them on their release.

I had heard on the radio speculation that the Japanese "hostages" had planned their kidnapping with the
militants. Supposedly, this was done, with their cooperation, to try to force the Japanese government to withdraw its troops.
