British Red Cross doctor kidnapped in Quetta found beheaded
2012-04-30
[Dawn] The beheaded body of a kidnapped British doctor working for the International Committee of the Red Thingy was found by the roadside on Sunday in Quetta, police and Red Thingy officials said.

Khalil Rasjed Dale, 60, was kidnapped by suspected hard boyz on Jan 5 while on his way home from work.

"The ICRC condemns in the strongest possible terms this barbaric act," ICRC Director-General Yves Daccord said in a statement. "All of us at the ICRC and at the British Red Thingy share the grief and outrage of Khalil's family and friends."

British Foreign Secretary William Hague also condemned the killing.

"This was a senseless and cruel act, targeting someone whose role was to help the people of Pakistain, and causing immeasurable pain to those who knew Mr Dale," Hague said in the statement.

The foreign office has promised to hold the killers accountable.

"The Government of Pakistain condemns this barbaric act in the strongest terms and is determined to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice," a statement from the Foreign Office said.

"Pakistain is committed to combat terrorism and the death of Mr Dale has only strengthened our resolve to eliminate this scourge," it added.
Really? When did that happen? Was it in the papers?
A senior police officer said the Pak Taliban had grabbed credit for the killing, saying a ransom had not been paid.

Police discovered Dale wrapped in plastic near a western bypass road. His name was written on the white plastic bag with black marker.

"A sharp knife was used to sever his head from the body," said Safdar Hussain, the first doctor to examine the body. "He was killed about 12 hours ago."

Dale is only the third Westerner killed in such a fashion in Pakistain. The others include Wall Street Journal news hound Daniel Pearl in 2002 and Piotr Stanczak, a Polish geologist, in 2009.
