American Woman Is Being Held Hostage In Syria | |
2014-08-27 | |
[Ynet] The Islamic State militant group is holding hostage a young American woman who was doing humanitarian aid work in Syria, a family representative said Tuesday. The 26-year-old woman is the third American known to have been kidnapped by the radical group.
The 26-year-old woman was captured last year while working with three humanitarian groups in Syria. A representative for the family and US officials asked that the woman not be identified out of fear for her safety. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly. | |

#7 If you go into those areas as an American, you should act like you are going into Ebola infected hospitals. If you get in trouble, no one is gonna save your ass and more than likely it will kill you. |

#5 I do not know if this woman is a true humanitarian or a political activist like Rachel Corrie (St. Pancake). But anyone with a bit of common sense would give Syria a wide berth at this time. |

#3 I'd be willing to give them the $6.6 million worth of ransom, but only in high explosives, delivered at high velocity. |

#2 ISIS demanding $ 6.6m for release of hostage. UPI - An unidentified American female aid worker was taken captive by Islamic State militants a year ago. IS is now demanding a $6.6 million ransom and the freedom of jailed Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui as conditions for her release. Hopefully some alarm bells will be going off, and not for the $6.6m demand. Underlined emphasis is mine. |
