Mediator says hostage takers donât plan to kill [Japanese] captives
The group that has taken three Japanese nationals hostage in central Iraq does not plan to kill them, a self-claimed "mediator" in the hostage crisis has told the Mainichi. Mazhar al-Dalaimi, head of an Iraqi human rights group, said during an interview with the Mainichi here on Tuesday that he had met the three hostages on Sunday, and that they looked quite healthy. The hostage takers promised not to kill the three, Mazhar said. However, they said in a message to Qatar-based broadcaster Aljazeera that they would kill the hostages unless Japan withdraws its troops from Iraq ...So, which is it? Do these terrorists, "not plan to kill them" or are they going to "kill the hostages unless Japan withdraws its troops from Iraq." Itâs just so confusing when these rutbags flat-out lie. Letâs just kill them and say we couldnât figure out what they meant. Posted by: Zenster 2004-04-15 |
