"Videotape may show execution of hostage; Polish engineer seized in Pakistan" by Associated Press | February 9, 2009
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - A graphic video delivered to the Associated Press yesterday appeared to show the execution of a Polish engineer by Pakistani militants who had held him captive for more than four months.
A spokesman for the Taliban in northwest Pakistan said Saturday that they killed Piotr Stanczak because the government missed a deadline to release 26 prisoners. Pakistan has seen a rash of kidnappings and attacks on foreigners in recent months, mostly blamed on Al Qaeda and Taliban militants trying to destabilize the secular government and punish it for supporting the US-led war in neighboring Afghanistan.
And CUI BONO? WHO wants GET BOOTS on the GROUND in Pakistan?
An American UN worker, John Solecki, was abducted last week in the border town of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan. Police said yesterday that they were investigating a claim of responsibility by the Baluchistan Liberation United Front, a purported separatist group.
The seven-minute execution video appears to show the Polish hostage, Stanczak, sitting on the floor flanked by two masked men. Off camera, a militant briefly engages him in conversation before three others behead him. One of the hooded men then addresses the camera, blaming Pakistan for the execution for not agreeing to their demands to release Taliban prisoners.
I've seen TOO MANY of those CIA PRODUCED FILMS!!!!
If confirmed, Stanczak's death would appear to be the first killing of a Western hostage in Pakistan since US journalist Daniel Pearl was beheaded in 2002.
Which gives the Jewish media reason to cite that, doesn't it?
Six years between hostage beheadings? That doesn't sound like terrorists at all.
U.S. has MURDERED MILLIONS in the meantime!
The video was given to an AP reporter in northwest Pakistan on a flash drive by an intermediary who said he obtained it from the Taliban. The agency has decided not to distribute images from the execution itself. It was unclear whether it was given to other media outlets.
Oh, I AM NOT LIKING THIS AT ALL!!!! Was the "intermediary" Mossad?
Shahidullah Baig, a spokesman for the Pakistani Interior Ministry, said the government knew about the existence of the video and was investigating. Piotr Adamkiewicz, a spokesman at the Polish embassy in Islamabad, said the mission had seen some images from the video. He said it appeared to show the Polish hostage being killed. "We are thinking that this is [Stanczak], but we have to wait to receive the full tape," he said.
Armed men pulled Stanczak from his car on Sept. 28 after killing three Pakistanis traveling with him near the city of Attock in northwest Pakistan. Stanczak was surveying oil and gas fields for Geofizyka Krakow, a Polish geophysics institute.
Was that his non-official cover, or.... ?
The institute said on its website that it was carrying out surveying work in Pakistan on behalf of the Oil & Gas Development Co., Pakistani oil corporation. Solecki, the American UN official, was seized Feb. 2 in Quetta in Baluchistan province as he traveled to work at the offices of the UN refugee agency there. His driver was shot to death.

"Kidnappers threaten to kill American" by Associated Press | February 14, 2009
QUETTA, Pakistan - Kidnappers holding an American UN worker hostage yesterday threatened to kill him in a letter that accompanied a grainy video showing him appealing to the world body to act quickly to secure his release.
Oh, sure, that convinces me off the Zionist media's veracity.

Who Invented "Al-CIA-Duh?"

The letter accompanying the video delivered to a Pakistani news agency said the hostage, John Solecki, would be killed within 72 hours unless authorities release 141 women allegedly held in Pakistan.
They should anyway! I doubt those women belong in jail.
The video and the demands indicate that Solecki, the head of the UN refugee agency in Quetta, a city near the Afghan border, is still alive and that his captors want to negotiate.
The kidnappers have identified themselves as the Baluchistan Liberation United Front, suggesting a link to local separatists who have waged a long, low-level insurgency against the Pakistani government and not the Taliban or Al Qaeda, who are fighting US forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
Yeah, over the government's stealing and looting of natural resources!
Still, the death threat heightens fears for Solecki's safety just a week after Taliban militants apparently beheaded a Polish geologist abducted in another border area of Pakistan after failing to agree to a prisoner swap. Police said they were looking into the latest development. UN officials could not be reached immediately for comment.
Yeah, back to the Polish guy:
"Poland to seek arrests for beheading" by Associated Press | February 10, 2009
WARSAW - Poland promised yesterday to issue international arrest warrants for Taliban militants after the apparent beheading of a Polish engineer in Pakistan, and officials said elements within the Pakistani government shared blame for the killing.
Just wondering when the world was going to issue them for Israel's leaders.
Pakistan's top diplomat in Poland firmly rejected the accusation that some members of the government are sympathetic to Islamic extremists, saying his country is snarled in a bitter fight with terrorist groups.
Translation: they serve their people, not foreign powers.
Without a body, Polish authorities were not able to officially confirm the death of Piotr Stanczak, but they said a seven-minute video purporting to show the 42-year-old's slaying appeared authentic. Copies of the video were delivered to journalists in Pakistan on Sunday.
There is NO BODY? Then how do we know this even happened?
Think I'm trusting my Zionist War Daily account?
Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski condemned the apparent killing as a "bestial execution" and said Poland would issue arrest warrants for the culprits. "A crime was committed, so there has to be an investigation, a search for the culprits, and if possible putting them before the justice system," he said.
Unless the offender is Israel.
Justice Minister Andrzej Czuma said Polish intelligence has identified the kidnappers as members of a Taliban group. He said intelligence "has described the leadership of the group, their relatives, where they are located, their friends in Pakistani government structures."
Then GO GET 'EM if you know who and where they are, Poles!!!!!
I guess this isn't viewed very well then (other than by people of peace and me).
"Pakistan agrees to Islamic law in Swat Valley, angering critics" by Pamela Constable, Washington Post | February 17, 2009
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - The Pakistani government, desperate to restore peace to a Taliban-infested valley once known as the "Switzerland of Pakistan," agreed yesterday to enforce strict Islamic law in the surrounding district near the Afghan border, conceding to a longstanding demand by local Islamist leaders who in turn pledged to ask the fighters to lay down their arms.
Maybe they have FINALLY SEEN the LIGHT, huh?
In announcing the agreement, Pakistani officials asserted that the adoption of sharia law would bring swift and fair justice to the Swat Valley, where people have long complained of legal corruption and delays. They said the new system would have "nothing in common" with the draconian rule of the Taliban militia that ran Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, during which thieves' hands were amputated and adulterers were stoned to death.
Of course, when that happens in Saudi Arabia, it's no problem.
"There was a vacuum . . . in the legal system. The people demanded this and they deserve it," said Amir Haider Khan Hoti, chief minister of the Northwest Frontier Province. The new system will include an appeals process, something the Afghan Taliban justice system did not allow for.
Militant leaders in the scenic Swat Valley, in a gesture of good faith, said they would observe a 10-day cease-fire while the new system is implemented.
How much you wanna bet a "suicider" shows up soon?!!!
Pakistani critics blasted the deal as a dangerous concession to extremist militants who have terrified inhabitants of the valley for months, sending thousands into flight to safer areas.
Gee, I wonder who the CRITICS are!
Related: The Greatest Refugee Crisis You Never Heard Of
They have bombed girls' schools, beheaded policemen, whipped criminals in public squares, and assassinated activists from the secular Awami National Party that governs the Northwest Frontier Province.
Maybe it's all true; however, I simply no longer believe the Jewish AmeriKan MSM.
I like the idea for bankers, though!
The critics expressed fear that this victory might spur the militants to push harder for the imposition of Islamic law in other areas, taking advantage of a promise by the Pakistani army to pull back from the surrounding area if peace is restored.
Yeah, and we couldn't have PEACE breaking out all over the place, could we?
The new special US envoy to the region, Richard Holbrooke, underscored American concerns yesterday when he said the militant takeover of Swat, once a popular tourist destination, had shown that "India, the U.S. and Pakistan all have a common threat now."
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
You can just SMELL the next PIN-UP PATSIES cooking in the hills, can't you?
Speaking in New Delhi, Holbrooke said he had talked to people from Swat during his recent visit to Pakistan and found them "frankly quite terrified."
Of what? U.S. MISSILES?
And SPEAK of the DEVILS!!
As Pakistani officials were defending their decision to negotiate with the militants, a US missile attack by an unmanned aircraft on a suspected militant camp killed more than 30 people in the nearby tribal area of Kurram. The second such attack in three days, it came amid increasing protests by opposition groups that the government is sacrificing Pakstani lives and sovereignty to US strategic interests.

President Asif Ali Zardari said Friday that there was "no alternative" but to use force against the militants, and his government is widely believed to accept the controversial drone attacks....
Yup, it's a MURDEROUS s*** fooley they re playing on their OWN PEOPLE!
So HOW LONG until the U.S. is OFFICIALLY OCCUPYING PAKISTAN!?

"Pakistan accord worries NATO; Warns militants may gain refuge" by Sherin Zada, Associated Press | February 18, 2009
MINGORA, Pakistan - NATO led a growing chorus of international concern yesterday by warning that a truce between the government of Pakistan and Taliban militants in a restive region near the Afghan border risks giving the extremists a safe haven.
A hard-line cleric sent to the battle-scarred Swat Valley to negotiate with the Taliban received a hero's welcome there by crowds shouting "Long live Islam! Long live peace!"
Here they are:

But they aren't popular and don't win elections or anything.... Do they ever say hard-line Zionist rabbi?
The cleric, Sufi Muhammad, expressed hope the militants would give up their arms to honor the pact, which imposes Islamic law and suspends a military offensive in the former tourist haven and nearby areas. NATO has 55,000 troops in Afghanistan, and many face attacks by Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters believed to be hiding in Pakistan's northwest.
In the last few months, Swat has largely fallen to militants who have beheaded opponents, burned scores of girls' schools, and banned many forms of entertainment. Gun battles between security forces and militants have killed hundreds, while up to a third of the valley's 1.5 million people have fled.
What, do they have propaganda paragraphs on a Rolodex over at AP?
The truce "is certainly reason for concern," NATO spokesman James Appathurai said in Brussels.
Yeah, PEACE is ALWAYS a CONCERN for WAR-MAKERS!
"We should all be concerned by a situation in which extremists would have a safe haven...."
That's why I WORRY about ISRAEL!!!!
Britain also weighed in with reservations....
Of course. They serve just under the U.S. when it comes to serving Israel.
As part of the deal, the pro-Taliban cleric agreed to travel to Swat to discuss peace with Maulana Fazlullah, his son-in-law and the leader of the Swat Taliban.
Now HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO BET that ONE of them is ASSASSINATED by a SUICIDER or some such thing?!!!! And CUI BONO?
Muhammad and his convoy of 300 vehicles arrived in Swat's main city of Mingora yesterday as hundreds of jubilant residents lined the roads and shouted slogans. Many of those in the convoy with him wore black turbans, a Taliban trademark.
That's strange, because SADR, a SHIITE wears a BLACK TURBAN because it is supposed to symbolize the DIRECT BLOODLINE to MUHAMMAD!!
And SUNNI OSAMA wears a WHITE TURBAN?
WTF, Zionist MSM? You getting caught up in your web of deceptions?
:-)
"We will soon open dialogue with the Taliban. We will ask them to lay down their weapons. We are hopeful that they will not let us down," Muhammad told reporters. "We will stay here in the valley until peace is restored."
How much bet something happens, readers?
Muhammad was detained in 2002 after he sent thousands of volunteers to fight the United States in Afghanistan, but Pakistan freed him last year after he agreed to renounce violence.
???????????
The Swat Taliban said Sunday that they would observe an initial 10-day cease-fire as a good-will gesture.
I'll bet my BOTTOM DOLLAR a SUICIDER HITS before then!
