"... adding that Boyle understood some Farsi, which helped them understand at times where they were."
There is no Farsi along Pak Afghan border. It's all Pashto, in different dialect from north to south.

US-Canadian couple, three children freed from terrorist custody in Kohat

Hi Troll, Kohat is far away city from Afghan border, touching Punjab province.

Caitlan Coleman, the 31-year-old American woman who gave birth to three children while held hostage by the Haqqani network, has disputed Pakistan’s account of her rescue in an interview likely to embarrass the country’s powerful military.

Pakistan has long bridled at accusations it harbours militants including the Taliban-linked Haqqanis inside the country.

Yet in her first interview since being released, Ms Coleman said that she and her family had spent “more than a year” in Pakistan before their rescue on Oct 11. Pakistan’s military had claimed to have freed the hostages as they were crossing the border from Afghanistan.

“We were not crossing into Pakistan that day”, Ms Coleman told the Toronto Star, explaining that the Haqqanis had often kept her and her husband, whom they had captured in 2012, in Pakistan.

The family passed their final few months in between Kohat and Banu, districts in the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, she said. According to Ms Coleman her husband, Joshua Boyle, 34, understood enough Farsi to keep tabs on their location.

Such claims corroborate the view of US officials, who last week told Reuters they believed the couple were held near the Haqqanis' headquarters in northwest Pakistan.

However, Ms Coleman also sought to clarify that the couple crossed the border regularly and, in contrast to the statement of CIA Director Mike Pompeo, did not spend the entire five years of their captivity in the country.

Freed Canadian hostage Joshua Boyle speaks out after his release

The revelations come at a time when America is piling on pressure for Pakistan to “do more” in the fight against terrorism. Speaking from Delhi, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson yesterday said that extremists pose “a threat to Pakistan’s own stability”.

“Nobody lends any credence to government claims that Haqqanis are not in Pakistan,” said a security analyst, who requested anonymity. But Ms Coleman’s statement “is a very blatant bit of counter-narrative”.

In the interview, Ms Coleman also confirmed that she was victim of rape and forced abortion while held hostage. The sexual assault, she said, came after her and Mr Boyle’s attempt to pass out notes written on scraps of paper to passersby.

The couple called the child they lost, “Martyr”.

Ms Coleman says oestrogen was added to her food in order to force a miscarriage, after Mr Boyle – who was previously married to the sister of a Guantanamo inmate – refused to join the Haqqanis.

Old Story , come up with a new one .
US wanted to embarrass Pakistan by using them as bait, they wanted to use Seal team to rescue the couple from Pakistan, which was moved in Pakistan just for this purpose.
But everything went down the drain , when Pakistani Security Forces intercepted the car and Freed the captives.

Yet in her first interview since being released, Ms Coleman said that she and her family had spent “more than a year” in Pakistan before their rescue on Oct 11. Pakistan’s military had claimed to have freed the hostages as they were crossing the border from Afghanistan.
How does she even know , where they actually were ?

Yet in her first interview since being released, Ms Coleman said that she and her family had spent “more than a year” in Pakistan before their rescue on Oct 11. Pakistan’s military had claimed to have freed the hostages as they were crossing the border from Afghanistan.

And yet they were found in the trunk of a car.

The family passed their final few months in between Kohat and Banu, districts in the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, she said. According to Ms Coleman her husband, Joshua Boyle, 34, understood enough Farsi to keep tabs on their location.

How does even even know it was Kohat or Banu ? and FYI people in these areas do not speak Parsi.

In the interview, Ms Coleman also confirmed that she was victim of rape and forced abortion while held hostage. The sexual assault, she said, came after her and Mr Boyle’s attempt to pass out notes written on scraps of paper to passersby.

and Yet again she did not stop wearing Burqa and has not stopped covering herself up . I wonder ?

To many holes in the her story.

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

First of all this news is full of crap since NY times itself reported that US Navy Seals were ready to cross the border if Pakistani troops failed to stop that movement. NY times further claimed that, US ambassador to Pakistan notified Pakistani authorities about possible entry of this family from Afghanistan into Pakistan just a day ahead. So its all contradicting what US official response to it.

Anyways even if our troops brought them out from their year long hideout in Pakistan, we have successfully managed to propagate our version of the story to the world which has led Trump praising/thank Pakistan for the first time ever. Even if our version of the story may not be truthful completely, this is what official stance of the story by both Pakistan and US Govt. Job well done or played !

Stupid bhartis
Doctored title of the thread deserved to be closed....She not only refuted Pakistani claims but also US claims that she lived her entire captivity inside Pakistan.
You know Afghan-Pak border areas are very close some villages falls on both sides how can captive person make distinguish between Afghan and Pakistan.

last thing we rescued them and US government acknowledged this effort and thanked us but it seems neighbor need ENO to digest it.

US doesn't want isolate pakistan completely. They need pakistani support on Afghanistan issue. They can't go too hard against Pakistan.

More incidents will gonna in near future. It will be well inside pakistan and where US will be quite and pakistan will say, it is not happened inside the pakistan territory.

Means, US happy and same time pakistan govt happy. And every one happy..
