An Afghan insurgent group has released video of a kidnapped North American couple, featuring two children apparently born to them in captivity.

The footage from the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network shows Canadian Joshua Boyle and American Caitlan Coleman with two young boys, who appeared healthy.

In the clip Ms Coleman begs for an end to their "Kafkaesque nightmare".

The couple were abducted in Afghanistan in 2012 during a camping trip, while she was pregnant.

The insurgent group is demanding the release of three of its prisoners in Afghanistan.

Apparently people do this. Then expect to be rescued when the Islamists kidnap them.

Hiking and Camping in Iraq and Afghanistan

100% certified idiots.

Who talks like that?................

[Noumenon]

Is this a Monty Python skit?

[rey]

I know someone who went “Clubbing” in Iran. Stupid people detached from reality.

[Organic Panic]

Embrace diversity fools.

These fools keep going to places like Afghanastan, Iran, North korea, all hoping to prove, “they’re just like us and it’s all propaganda.” Foolish. Just foolish.

[Lent]

Idiot train. Maybe we can encourage liberals, the left, open borders globalists, to take the trip though.

[Lurkinanloomin]

All the beautiful places to hike and camp in the USA and they choose to go to Afghanistan?

Sorry, but they chose poorly.

Imo, the proper response to prisoner exchange demands from jihadiscum is to publicly execute the prisoners they demand for the exchange.

[LouAvul]

If only we could persuade all of America's liberals to vacation there. As it is, all they do is move from the People's Sewer of Kalifornia to Tulsa.

Wow! You ‘d think that if a Neckbeard Commander was captured that the Legion of Fedora would do everything in it’s power to get him back?

O.M.G.

Well done. Muahaha!!

[dhs12345]

Works on multiple levels — no more stupid tourists traveling to terrorist havens and no more demands from said terrorists. Oh, and no more terrorist prisoners.

A win-win-win.

[dfwgator]

Too bad they have already bred.

[BenLurkin]

Have they lost weight?

[AFret.]

Well, the good news is that at least they weren’t available to vote.

[Flick Lives]

My first reaction to the headline was, “who the f*&^ goes camping in Afghanistan”? And then I saw their picture.

[Grimmy]

If done properly, it could also add a whole new enhancement to interrogation.

“Tell us what we want to know, or we’ll tell your buddies that you’re telling us what we want to know. You know that’ll motivate them to kidnap someone and demand a prisoner exchange... for you!”
