“Video: Taliban Threaten to Behead Pro-Taliban Canadian “Journalist””
SNIPPET: “We’ve been following the story of Beverly Giesbrecht (aka, Khadija Abdul Qahar) fairly closely for years now. As the owner and operator of the “Jihad Unspun” website, she wrote countless stories about how US and Canadian troops were the “real terrorists” and how the Taliban were simply anti-imperialist freedom fighters — the “resistance” as she liked to call them.
I actually knew Beverly was on her way to Pakistan as she and I crossed paths at some Islamist forums. She was at the forums looking for video and trying to hook up with “resistance fighters” who could help her and Phil Rees — who she claimed to be working with -— on their “documentary” about “Islamic resistance”. A “documentary” she claimed would show the “resistance” point of view.
So, if Beverly really was kidnapped by the Taliban and if she is about to be beheaded, how come nothing happened to Phil Rees?”

SNIPPET: “PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN and VANCOUVER — A ransom offered by the Pakistan government for the release of a Canadian woman kidnapped by the Taliban more than four months ago has been rejected, sources close to the negotiations say.
Failure of officials to gain the release of Beverly Giesbrecht, a West Vancouver woman who also calls herself Khadija Abdul Qahaar, has raised fears that she might not survive captivity much longer. She has said she would be decapitated if a settlement wasn’t made by Tuesday.”
