The U.S. Embassy identified the victim as Warren Weinstein. A man by that name serves as the Pakistan country director for J.E. Austin Associates, a development contractor that works with the aid arm of the American government, according to a profile on the LinkedIn networking website. Weinstein is based in Lahore and has been in Pakistan for seven years. Calls to the company headquarters in Virginia were not immediately answered, but its website describes Weinstein as a development expert with 25 years experience and a Ph.D. in international law and economics.

| #1 Hmmmm, the kidnapped American's last name is Weinstein ....... sounds Jewish. Kidnapping and/or killing a Jewish American, that's hitting the Islamic trifecta. Triple points for Jew killing. |
