An American journalist was kidnapped by Taliban militants in the Afghan province of Logar, located 60 kilometres south of the capital Kabul. David Rohde, a journalist working for the US daily The New York Times, was abducted along with his driver and interpreter by a Taliban group known as Siraj Haqqani and has been taken to eastern Afghanistan, sources told Adnkronos International (AKI).
War-torn Afghanistan has seen a surge in kidnappings of foreigners by Taliban militants recently. On Monday, Canadian journalist Mellissa Fung was freed in Kabul after being held in captivity for four weeks by militants.
Prayer bump
OBAMA’S FAULT!!!!!
....sorry, I’m not good at waiting.
“Rohde”
What is the cultural origin of that name?
“I know this person has a family that is very scared right now”
That’s what I was thinking at first but then I read post number 3 and started thinking, “Sure this guy has a family but for the most part, he’s an enemy of the US so I don’t really feel sorry for him.” There’s a lot of verses that come into play in this situation though so I don’t wish harm for this person.
Once they figure out what they got, his a55 will promptly be under the pickup....
How the heck are you?
I haven’t seen you on here for a long time, I hope you have been well.
As is reporter Dexter Filkins, who worked with Mr. Burns.
Very uplifting to see the upswelling of patriotism and compassion as an American ends up in the hands of the jihadis. Warms yer heart, don’t it.
Who knows, maybe if he makes it back he’ll come over to the American side, like so many former kamikaze pilots who are now pro-American, or Huey Newton when he came back from Islamic North Africa.
No it isn’t. I don’t wish this even on a NYT reporter.
The NYT must have requested a news blackout.
The CBC requested the same in the case of Fung’s kidnapping.
Staged for a photo-op release after negotiations by
the Obamunist.
He should be a welcome guest. Tell them everything he knows that has been leaked to the Times and have some tea and goat and be sent on his way. It's not as though the NYT has written anything against them..
That’s too bad.
Is the video coming out soon?
Will he beg the “messiah” to resue him?
Do ping me!
;)
True Believers have no allies.
If the whole world converted to islam, half of it would be trying to kill the other half for not being islamic enough.
Here have a tissue on me.
I hope the terrorists have mercy.
I hope he’s safe but.....he shouldn’t have been there anyway.
History tells us they don’t care that he’s their ally. They will kill him anyway. Prayers up.
Hell, Obama is a TERRORIST!
