Meaning the burglary and robbery did not happen out of the blue.Originally posted by Honeybunz:har?
I scratched other people's furniture when I was a guest in their house. And it happened that I purposely left my door open to "invite" them to rob my house. There was a case of burglary by the same robbers just months ago, but I did not learn my lesson. Neither did I learn from most of my neighbours who lock their doors with multiple padlocks. -
ok.

The 23 South Korean aid workers were abducted in Ghazni province while travelling on a key highway which many foreigners consider a no-go area because of a general decline in security.

Taliban say not releasing South Korean hostages: report
Posted: 12 August 2007 1217 hrs
SEOUL: Afghanistan's Taliban have decided not to free any of the 21 South Korean hostages despite earlier saying two women could go, the Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Sunday citing an insurgents' spokesman.
Yonhap quoted Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi as saying, "Our leaders have changed their minds and decided not to free two female hostages."
South Korean officials refused to confirm the report.
After face-to-face talks between the Taliban and a South Korean delegation, Ahmadi told AFP late Saturday that the two women, who are reported to be ill, were being released unconditionally as a "gesture of goodwill."
The Taliban abducted 23 Christian aid workers in volatile southern Ghazni province on July 19. Two male hostages have been shot dead, and the insurgents have threatened to kill the rest unless captured militants are released from jail in exchange for their lives.
But Kabul, backed by Washington, has refused to accept that demand, fearing it would only encourage more kidnappings.
The government in Seoul, meanwhile, says it is powerless to bring about a prisoner release. - AFP/ac -

Are the talibans stupid or what? Don't they know their effort will be futile?Originally posted by Honeybunz:
I think they want to preserve face; they know this deal will not go through. In order not to make themselves look stupid, they will slowly release the hostages. Either that or they succumb to illness.
If they don't release any hostage, they will be condemned by everyone, even their god.
If they release all hostages in one batch, they will look stupid. -
I can't help but feel more pity for the Afghan government than for those people. They know that they are in a dangerous country where they can be kidnapped anytime by blood thristy fanatics and yet they choose to travel in an unsafe area. Now because of their stupidity the Afghan government are in this difficult situation. If possible I think the Afghan government would rather let those fools die in peace than to submit to the terrorist's demands.Originally posted by lwflee:And they were in a tourist bus.
