| [Straits Times] PAKISTANI Taleban faceless myrmidons on Thursday released a video of a kidnapped professor in which he appeals to the government to accept the rebels' demands to secure his release. Professor Ajmal Khan, a locally-renowned academic and a close ally of the ruling Awami National Party in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, formerly NWFP, aka Terrorism Central province, was kidnapped on Sept 7. In the video tape, aired by Pak private TV channels GEO and ARY, Prof Khan is shown wearing a traditional Pakhtun cap with a beard, and with two masked men holding Kalashinkov assault rifles standing behind him. 'I am a heart patient and cannot live here any longer. The government should do something for me and should negotiate with the Taleban,' Prof Khan said in the video recording. 'The government should solve their problems (with the Taleban), if they have any,' he added. An intelligence official in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar said the professor was being held hostage in one of the lawless tribal areas where authorities have no access. Pak security officials said Taleban Orcs and similar vermin have been using kidnapping as ransom tool, and to bargain for the release of their faceless myrmidons being held by Pakistain authorities. |
