QUETTA, Pakistan (The Blaze/AP) — The beheaded body of a British Red Cross worker who had been held captive in Pakistan since January was found dumped in an orchard Sunday with a note attached to it saying he was killed because a ransom hadn’t been paid to his captors, police said.
Khalil Rasjed Dale, 60, was managing a health program in the city of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan when armed men seized him from the street close to his office. The identities of his captors are unknown, but the region is home to separatist and Islamist militants who have kidnapped for ransom before.
“The ICRC condemns in the strongest possible terms this barbaric act,” said its director-general, Yves Daccord.
According to Reuters, police found Dale’s head and body wrapped in plastic near a western bypass road. His name was written on the bag with black marker. The Telegraph reported his body was also riddled with bullets.
“A sharp knife was used to sever his head from the body,” Safdar Hussain, the first doctor to examine the body, said according to Reuters. “He was killed about 12 hours ago.”
Quetta police chief Ahsan Mahboob said the note attached to the body read: “This is the body of Khalil who we have slaughtered for not paying a ransom amount.”
Militants and criminal gangs often kidnap wealthy Pakistanis and less commonly foreigners.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned Dale’s killing, calling it a “senseless and cruel act, targeting someone whose role was to help the people of Pakistan.”
According to the Telegraph, Dale converted to Islam 30 years ago and had worked for the Red Cross in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. He had been working in Pakistan for close to a year.
Much of Baluchistan and the tribal regions close to Afghanistan are out of government control, and make good places to keep hostages. Large ransoms are often paid to secure their release, but such payments are rarely confirmed.
There are at least four other foreigners currently being held in Pakistan.
Last August, a 70-year-old American humanitarian aid worker was kidnapped from his house in the Punjabi city of Lahore. Al-Qaida claimed to be holding the man, Warren Weinstein, and said in a video he would be released if the United States stopped airstrikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
In March, a Swiss couple held captive for eight months by the Taliban turned up at an army checkpoint close to the Afghan border. Insurgents have claimed a large ransom was paid to secure their freedom, but that has not been confirmed by Pakistani or Swiss authorities, who are unlikely to acknowledge it even if they did.
The couple was kidnapped from Baluchistan province, of which Quetta is the capital.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 10:30amRussian Defense Ministry spokesman Colonel Alexander Kucherenko publically announced this 24-21 May “anti-terror drill” this Friday past noting that this will be the first time Russian airborne forces have held exercises with the US airborne forces on US territory. Colonel Kucherenko stated, “According to the exercise scenario, soldiers of the two countries will hold a tactical airborne operation, including the reconnaissance of imaginary terrorists’ camp and a raid. After the operation, a helicopter will evacuate the soldiers.” He further added that Russian airborne troops would be training with US special service weapons in these drills in Fort Carson, Colorado.
Report Post »According to reports, the U.S. and Russian military will be engaging in an anti-terrorism exercise that will involve Russian paratroopers using U.S. weapons to “take and hold” the main facilities of the CIA and Denver International Airport in Colorado and the National Security Agency in Utah.
Puzzling to Russian military analysts about this exercise, this report says, are that according to the American plans, Russian airborne troops (using US weapons that they had previously trained with at Fort Carson) will fly to and then parachute from their planes having the objectives of seizing the CIA’s main computer facility in Denver, the NSA’s main computer facility in Bluffdale, Utah, and taking control of main runways and terminals of the Denver International Airport.

THE United States has been narrowly saved from lethal terrorist plots in recent years — or so it has seemed. A would-be suicide bomber was intercepted on his way to the Capitol; a scheme to bomb synagogues and shoot Stinger missiles at military aircraft was developed by men in Newburgh, N.Y.; and a fanciful idea to fly explosive-laden model planes into the Pentagon and the Capitol was hatched in Massachusetts.
But dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested…

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 10:49amIf you refuse to change your mind, does that mean that you are not open to the FACTS?
Give it up. Ron Paul is not the nominee.
Regarding this story: The Red Cross worker was British, not American. True, Ron Paul probably wouldn’t ever be in Pakistan. Of all the candidates, Ron Paul is the ONLY one who would NOT have given the order to kill Bin Laden. Therefore, all the victims and family members and friends and all TRUE Americans still would not have justice for 9-11. Killing Bin Laden is the ONLY thing Obama did right! (It’s the only part of his record that he can run on!) Romney is VERY strong on defense and the military. He believes (like Reagan) in peace through strength. He believes in strength being a deterrent to war. He won’t apologize for America. He’s not a war-monger like Santorum and Gingrich, however, he understands the importance of the military. Romney will bring our troops home, but he won’t tell the enemy in advance when he will do so. He won’t let the deaths of those who were killed be for naught.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 1:06pm@Ashes to Ashes, I watched the hour long video about Obama changing his name. It is some scary stuff, and the guy seems to be loaded with information, but if I could prove this one thing, I‘d say it’s a bunch of bull: I’ve heard several people say that Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital did not exist at the time Obama was born, however, Wikipedia (yeah, I know that it might not be the most reliable source!) says that in 1931 Kapiolani Hospital changed it’s name to Kapiolani Maternity and Gynocological Hospital:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapiolani_Medical_Center_for_Women_and_Children
Obama, of course, was born in 1961. A simple way to prove Obama’s birth certificate is real is to ask anyone born at that hospital in 1961 what THEIR birth certificate says! I‘m sure Obama wasn’t the only one born there that year! I don’t know anyone born there, so I cannot prove this. Any takers?
Obama DID show his birth certificate number, therefore, it was not altered as this man says, and the disclaimer at the bottom that this attorney says is there, is NOT there!
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/white-house-releases-what-it-says-is-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate/
The interesting thing in the video was the fact (I believe this part is true) that he had an adopted sister named “Holiya” AKA “Lia” (who died in 2010) and another sister named “Maya”. This is probably why Obama named his daughter “Malia”. Now WHO is his other daughter “Natasha” AK

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 9:48pm@Ashes to Ashes, I’ve spent way too much time on the computer today, but I watched both the videos that you posted at 1:41 PM, along with the other one “Obama Changed His Name in Canada?” which I thought you all were talking about earlier.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fmtJ5kh-50
Thank you for those videos. The “Rumors of War III” was excellent and well put together. I guess between listening to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and keeping up with the news, I’m pretty well educated because not much of it was that new. The part about the EMT’s was pretty new, however. If “mutually assured destruction” worked during the Cold War, I would think we could figure out a way to do the same with EMT’s.
Regarding Romney, just because both parties have been infiltrated, that doesn’t mean Romney is one of them! After all, he is the ONLY candidate that is not a career politician, therefore, he has much less of a chance of being corrupted.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 9:55pm@Razlord, I do not think Obama is who he says he is. It’s just that the statements the guy said about the birth certificate number being blacked out simply is not true. All people have to do is spend 5 minutes looking at the birth certificate themselves to see the number. (Which is why I posted a link showing the actual birth certificate that Obama disclosed.)
Report Post »I do think that Congress needs to speak out LOUDLY about what Obama has been doing lately. The videos explain why we haven’t been seeing Congress do just that. I think they will be held accountable during their next election, but we can’t blame them for everything. Why aren’t WE protesting outside the Capitol????
