Hostagesâ relatives reverse stance on SDF pullout; wonât say why
This tends to confirm my opinion that the kidnapping of the Japanese was faked and they are still in Jordan. The families of three Japanese civilians kidnapped in Iraq indicated Wednesday they will stop demanding the Japanese government pull Self-Defense Forces (SDF) troops out of Iraq, a condition given by the kidnappers for the release of the hostages. Asked about their sudden change of attitude on the issue at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan (FCCJ), they merely said, "No comment." Posted by: Phil B 2004-04-14 |
