Taliban issues new threat to kill hostages
According to Gulf News:
Seoul: Taliban rebels gave a fresh threat on Monday to kill more of the 22 remaining Korean hostages unless the government releases rebel prisoners.
The new deadline was set for 0730 GMT (11:30am, UAE time), said Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf. The Afghan government has ruled out a prisoner swap and has urged the Taliban to release the hostages.
One hostage, the Korean group’s leader, has already been killed. The bullet-ridden body of pastor Bae Hyung-kyu is expected to arrive in South Korea on Monday. His brother, Bae Shin-kyu, told reporters the family would not have a funeral until the other hostages were returned to South Korea.
One of the hostages, a woman who identified herself as Yo Syun-Ju, pleaded for help as she spoke to the media by phone. “We want from the Koreans, from the UN and human rights people to exchange us, and that they do this,” she said. “We are all sick and we have a lot of problems,” she added.
- This song is sang by my friend Jean which I will dedicate the songs to all the Korean Hostages and my prayers are with their safe home coming. Please do remember that we should not react or act badly against any race, language or religion as human had always been hostile from the beginning of life…
Michael Buble – Home
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
‘Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
