#3 Here's hoping K Suryanarayana reincarnated as a Brahmin boy, or at least as a call center operator with a nice American accent and good future prospects. |

#1 They found the poor engineer. http://news.yahoo.com/ s/ap/20060430/ap_on_re_as/ afghan_indian_kidnapped (you'll have to re-assemble the link - I can't make it embed - it either vanishes or busts format for some reason.) Police found an Indian hostage's beheaded body in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, officials said. Taliban militants said they shot the hostage dead as he tried to escape. An Afghan highway police patrol found K. Suryanarayana's decapitated body in a field near the highway where the telecommunications engineer was abducted Friday in Zabul province, said the provincial police chief, Ghulam Nabi Malakhail. |
