Taliban beheads Polish engineer
Created: 07.02.2009 10:28
UPDATE - A spokesman for the Pakistan Taliban claimed, Saturday, that they have carried out the threat to behead Piotr Stanczak, the Polish engineer kidnapped in the northwest borderlands in Pakistan last September.
"We have beheaded the Polish engineer after the government failed to meet our demands,” said the spokesman, as reported by Pakistani media, referring to an earlier ultimatum whereby the Taliban threatened to kill the hostage if prisoners were not released and Islamic law was not put in place in certain regions of Pakistan.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in Munich this morning for an international security conference, says he has unofficial information which confirms that Stanczak is indeed dead.
The deadline for the ultimatum passed last Wednesday. It is reported that the Taliban have demanded 200,000 rupees (2,000 euro) for the return of the body.
On Thursday, Pakistani political scientist Aimal Khan claimed that he had had contact with the kidnappers personally and said the Polish engineer was alive and that the Taliban were still willing to negotiate his release.
Prime Minister Tusk said earlier that no ransom had been paid and his government would not negotiate with such groups.
As the deadline loomed last week, Dorota Bartula, an ex-partner of Stanczak and mother to his 13 year old son, appealed for the Polish government to be more active in securing his release. She also demanded that if the Taliban went ahead with their threat to kill the engineer - who works for the Geofizyka Krakow mining exploration company based in south Poland - then she would call for a report into why the Foreign Ministry had not done more to save him.
The Polish engineer was working for Geofizyka Krakow when he was abducted by armed assailants on September 28, some 200 km south-east of Islamabad. Three Pakistanis, a driver and two bodyguards, who accompanied the Polish engineer were shot dead during the kidnap.
May his soul rest in eternal peace and may his death be avenged.
Any reaction from Washington?
Good thing we are shutting down Gitmo—now that we are treating everyone humanely, there won’t be any more atrocities...
Prayers for his family.
The muslim monsters!!!
My sincerest prayers for this man’s family.
May he rest in peace - and may his death be avenged!

We are cutting ties with Poland.
I believe this is the Taliban’s response to President Obama’s attempt to play nice by closing Guantanamo and dismmissing charges against a Mahometan savage (yes, redundant, I know) responsible for the bombing of the USS Cole and the deaths of 17 American naval personnel and the injury of many others.
Where is the outcry about war crimes?
Where is the outcry about torture?
Only in the Leftist mind is waterboarding as bad as or worse than being beheaded slowly with a rusty kitchen knife in front of the video cameras while the savages scream demonic praises to their satanic deity?
My condolences to the Stanczak family.
“May his soul rest in eternal peace and may his death be avenged.”
Ditto and may he forever haunt those who let his death go unavenged.
Now I read on Polish media, that those raghead SOBs demand 2.500 $ for giving back his mutilated body
Satanists = Taliban
Taliban = Tail Ban
I guess as a Westerner one would have to know that if you go to one of these Hell-holes and get captured by terrorists, your number is up: your government cannot and will not help you and you are going to die. Probably by beheading and probably this will be videotaped.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
If that is the reality, then it is absolutely illogical to go to these Hell-holes. Not even if you are well-armed: in this case, four people are now dead: two of them were bodyguards (presumably they were armed? Presumably they knew how to use their weapons?)
Let these sh!tholes do without our Western assistance. They do not need Geophysics more than this poor dead Polish geophysicist needed his head. They want to live in the dark ages — let them.
It ought to be a sobering thought to any Westerner that, if we were to go to one of these Paradises-on-Earth and be kidnapped, our lives would be in the hands of our Nation’s leaders.
Crikey — that fills me with confidence...not! Up until November that would have been Auntie Helen Clark! How does it feel knowing Obama would be responsible for rescuing you Yanks? I bet you feel confident about that, ay.
Maybe there is a snootful of money to be made by some enterprising PMO setting up an “A-Team” specifically to do private hostage rescues. They’d need to be well-equipped and they’d need to be immune to War Crimes.
Short of that, I have no better ideas. Prayers for this poor man and his family. May he be Avenged.
Islam is competing with the Aztecs for most barbarous pagan cult
We need to talk nice to them.
Obama reaction?
"Unhhh....I 'll have to ...unhhhh....check......unhh and get back to you.....unhhhh.....Did you put that question through our press approval office?"
“Only in the Leftist mind is waterboarding as bad as or worse than being beheaded slowly with a rusty kitchen knife in front of the video cameras while the savages scream demonic praises to their satanic deity?”
That’s because Liberals are spoiled.
Kill everyone of them.
