After the United Nations diplomat John Solecki, who had forcefully converted to Islam under the doctrine of the Taliban militants, a Canadian journalist - Beverly Giesbrecht, became the latest Taliban target, with the deadline of March 30 being announced by the militants for her release.
Even as the 48-hour deadline for kidnapped United Nations official John Solecki ends, the Taliban has released another hostage video, this time of a Canadian journalist, threatening to behead her by March 30.
As Beverly desperately calls out for help, she says, "The timeline is very short and my life is going to end. So I need someone to help me. My country or someone else have to make a move now, as my life is going to be over very shortly."
The irony is Beverly - now Khadija Adbul Qahaar - publisher of a pro-Islamic website 'Jihad Unspun', was in Pakistan to understand the concept of 'Jihad', when the Taliban kidnapped her in North Wazirstan.
"A previous video has been made and distributed to my Embassy, to the Pakistan government and to the various NGOs and groups, in order to try to meet the demnads that they're (the Taliban terror outfits) are making but....," trails off Beverly.
A cash strapped Taliban, at first demanded USD 2 millions, and have now settled for USD 3 hundred and 75 thousand ransom.
As the deadline for the execution of kidnapped United Nations man John Solecki lapsed, the timing of Beverly's hostage video release, served as grim reminder for foreigners in Pakistan that they have become the Taliban terror groups' most negotiable currecy in their holy war.
I don’t like my suspicious side, but I would wonder if the whole thing isn’t a set up to get money. The T-ban is hurting for cash. What can be gained by killing the woman?

It’s a hoax. She’s shilling for the Taliban for the Canadian government to pay a ransom.
Thank you for the ping Cindy.

We Canadians are obviously not immune to idiocy.
No matter what people call them, good fundraisers isn’t going to be on the list. Their normal Democrat donors must be hurting too.

I’d rather the Taliban didn’t kill her, even if it does mean our Canadian gummint has to pay a ransom. However, if that be the case, as soon as she arrives back in Canada she ought to be cuffed and perp-walked from the aeroplane to a waiting Black Maria, and from thence to one of HM Prisons, and made to stand trial for High Treason: giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
She can’t have it both ways.
The only reason that the Canadian gummint ought to pay for her release is that she is a Canadian Traitor and it is thus worth that amount to put her on trial and make an example of her to encourage the others.
Her website ought to be seized as Crown Assets and converted into counter-propaganda.
And so she has, my friends. And so she has.
You’re right about that Mark.
Gasp.
No ransom should be paid, IMO.
The irony is Beverly - now Khadija Adbul Qahaar - publisher of a pro-Islamic website 'Jihad Unspun', was in Pakistan to understand the concept of 'Jihad', when the Taliban kidnapped her in North Wazirstan.
Who's to say she's not "in on" the fund-raising effort?
I saw that after I posted.
Smiling at you.
She dug her own grave:
