Taliban says Polish hostage beheaded in Pakistan

[A.Rahman]

So, you accept the process of beheadings!!!
And also accept what the talibans says is true!!!

Beheading is a way of saying, dont come here.

Do you accept what media feeds you as truth? Like I said, If he was an agent then its justified.

Daniel pearl has always been a reporter, but like S-2 said in one of the thread anything found in FATA or northern frontier can be justifide of American, Indian and Israel envolvement.

Why would you go to FATA, when they have already made known that they dont like foreigners?

 

[A.Rahman]

Only solution to this problem is to use force to cut them in to pieces.Idiot ignorant people.

This was used by soviets, and now by Americas, and Taliban still control 75% of Afghanistan.

That is all hogwash, Daniel pearl was beheaded because he was investigating the alleged links between Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, and Al Qaeda and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence.

He was no agent, he was kidnaped because he found the link between richard reid and ISI. So please stop with this media feeds you a truth because people do have reasoning power of putting two things together.

 

[A.Rahman]

He was no agent, he was kidnaped because he found the link between richard reid and ISI.

Ofcourse agents usually carry a name tag of their chest, which says their branch and ID number.

Its always the ISI, hopefully you don't blame ISI on sabotage about failed satellite launch last week.

Pakistan is complicit in killing by Taliban, a Polish official says
The Associated Press
Published: February 10, 2009

WARSAW: A day after a video appeared purporting to show the beheading of a Polish engineer by Taliban militants in Pakistan, the Polish government promised Monday to issue international arrest warrants for the militants, and officials charged that elements within the Pakistani government shared blame for the killing.

Without a body, the Polish authorities were unable to confirm the death of the engineer, Piotr Stanczak, 42, but they said a seven-minute video delivered Sunday to journalists in Pakistan appeared to be authentic.

Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski condemned the killing as a "bestial execution" and said the government would issue arrest warrants for the killers.

"A crime was committed," he said, "so there has to be an investigation, a search for the culprits, and if possible putting them before the justice system, and an exemplary punishment."

It was not immediately clear what impact the warrants would have, because Poland does not have an extradition treaty with Pakistan.

Justice Minister Andrzej Czuma said Polish intelligence had identified the kidnappers as members of a Taliban group. He said intelligence had "described the leadership of the group, their relatives, where they are located, their friends in Pakistani government structures."

Czuma said the extremists enjoyed the favor of some Pakistani officials. "A lot of people among Pakistan's authorities sympathize with these bandits," he said on a television news channel.

Pakistan's top diplomat in Poland rejected the accusation, saying his country was doing everything in its power to combat terrorism.

"Suicide attacks are being carried out against the security forces, and we have lost not only common citizens but our security forces in tribal areas," said Malik Farooq, the chargé d'affaires at the Pakistani Embassy in Warsaw. "Pakistan has been a great victim of terrorism and extremism."

Stanczak was kidnapped near the Afghan border on Sept. 28 by armed men while he was surveying oil and gas fields for a Krakow-based geophysics company. The gunmen killed three Pakistanis traveling with him.

His killing, if confirmed, would be the first of a Western hostage in Pakistan since Daniel Pearl, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, was beheaded in 2002.

A spokesman for the Taliban in northwestern Pakistan said Stanczak was "slaughtered" because the Pakistani government missed a deadline to release 26 prisoners. The Taliban had also demanded that the government withdraw troops from tribal areas.

The video shows two hooded men taking a dagger in turn and running it along the victim's neck. One of them then cleans his blood-soaked hands with the victim's shirt.

[XYON]

These misguided TALIBAN bastards are terrorizing, harassing & ruining the peace of the locals of the areas near the Pak-Afghan border. Be-heading is simply a way of inducing terror and is a war tactic directly descendant from the annals of the country-less foreigners from Chechnya. These foreign fighters are disillusioning the locals into false precepts of an Islamic culture & using them as tools to try and establish their pre-dated Islamic Kingdom in the region. Time is high for Pakistan to purge these assholes once and for all by declaring that area a no-go zone for foreigners from both sides of the fence.

 

[afriend]

He had an Israeli passport, and was mossad agent, according to people who beheaded him. In that case its justified.

This polish guy had no reason to go there, his love of money got him there and got him killed in the process.

Beheading is a way of saying, dont come here.

Rahman your comments are scary man. Are you saying Pakistan is a country unfriendly to forgieners and nobody should visit there???. And how easily you branded this Polish guy a person greedy of money. Did you know this guy personally brother..???

I dont know how you can say...

Daniel Pearl-->Mossad Agent.
Polish guy-->Greedy of money.
Beheadings-->Normal Don't these guys know the difference between animals and human beings.

I hope people come back to civilisation.

Angry Poland accuses Pak of fostering terrorism

WASHINGTON: Poland has joined the ranks of countries accusing Pakistan of inaction, if not outright complicity in terrorist activity, following the
beheading last week of a Polish national by the Pakistani Taliban.

In a furious response that has stunned the international diplomatic community, Polish justice minister Andrzej Czuma on Monday blamed Pakistan's ''apathy'' in tackling terrorism for the killing of a Polish geologist who was kidnapped by the Pakistani Taliban from Attock town in Punjab.

"The structure of the Pakistani government is behind this apathy. The Pakistani authorities encourage these bandits," Czuma told a Polish news agency, even as the horrific killing recalled the similar beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

The minister’s outburst stunned his own colleagues in the diplomatic circuit who are a little more circumspect in public about Pakistan’s reputation as a haven of terrorism. ''It was unnecessary honesty, it sent shivers down my spine when I heard Minister Czuma speaking,'' Pawe? Gra?, a member of the Polish parliament's Special Services Committee and Czuma's party colleague told the Polish media.

However, so great is the outrage in Warsaw over the brutal killing that the Poland's Senate speaker has called off a visit by his Pakistani counterpart this week.

Speaker Bogdan Borusewicz said Tuesday his decision is not an unfriendly gesture toward Pakistan but was made after taking into consideration ''the situation in which our countryman was murdered.'' Other European countries also expressed revulsion at yet another beheading in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, according to reports in the Polish media, the State Prosecutor's Office in Cracow, formally investigating the incident, would like to secure the original tapes containing a seven-minute film showing the Pole's execution. For now, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, it has only received a digital copy.

"We don't want a digital copy because it may have been tinkered with,'' said Prosecutor Marek We?na at the Organised Crime Bureau, State Prosecutor's Office in Cracow. He said the persons who had taken part in the negotiations would be asked to testify. It is also possible a Polish prosecutor will go to Pakistan to secure potential evidence there.

The Polish case offers Pakistan yet another opportunity to prove its bona fides in the war on terror amid continuing questions in the international community about its seriousness. Whether it is the Mumbai carnage or the London subway blasts or the beheading of Pearl and now of Piotr Stanczack, Pakistan has not distinguished itself with its dodgy investigations seemingly aimed more at protecting the perpetrators rather than bring them to justice.

Many of the accused in such incidents, including Omar Saeed Sheikh, Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, Yusuf Muzammil, and Zarrar Khan are reported to be ISI assets who live under the intelligence agency’s protection, while Pakistan’s civilian dispensation drums up red herrings while privately pleading it is not fully in control of the agency or that it has been infiltrated by rogue elements.

With its constant denials, fudging and prevarication, Pakistan’s government has laid itself open that it is complicit in such acts of terrorism. There is immense distrust among the U.S and its allies about Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI and how far it is in cahoots with the jihadis it fostered for long.

Video of Beheading of Pole Held by Taliban Is Real, Official Says

By SALMAN MASOOD
Published: February 9, 2009
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A video that purported to show the beheading of a Polish geologist abducted by the Taliban in northwestern Pakistan is authentic, the Polish foreign minister said Monday before he condemned the killing and demanded that the killers be brought to justice.

A huge embarrassment for the Pakistani government, the killing was the first of a Western citizen here since 2002, when Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, was killed in the southern port city of Karachi.

The release on Sunday of the video showing the Pole’s gruesome death prompted grim concerns for the safety of John Solecki, an American and an official of a United Nations refugee agency who was abducted in the southwestern city of Quetta on Feb. 2. A shadowy Baluch separatist group has claimed responsibility for his kidnapping.

The Pole, Piotr Stanczak, was taken captive Sept. 28 from a northern town, Attock, after an ambush. The Taliban, who demanded the release of dozens of their imprisoned companions, later claimed responsibility.

The Polish foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, was quoted on Monday by news media outlets as confirming the seven-minute video’s authenticity and then saying that it showed a “bestial execution” and that he would try to ensure the killers were punished.

“Now we can no longer save our compatriot; we are going to try to punish his killers,” Mr. Sikorski.

“A crime was committed, so there must be an investigation, a search for the guilty parties, and if possible, they must be brought before a court and served due punishment.”

The video was delivered Sunday to some journalists. Mr. Stanczak was shown sitting on the ground, looking into the camera as a voice asked him questions. A black banner hung on a wall behind him read ”Tehreek-e-Taliban Darra Adam Khel.” Two men stood on his sides, their hands firmly clenching Kalashnikov rifles.

Darra Adam Khel, a northwestern town, is famous for its weapons manufacturers. In recent months, the Taliban have gained strength in the area, as well as most of the northwestern tribal regions, terrorizing the local population and clashing with the Pakistani military.

In the video, Mr. Stanczak appealed to the Polish government not to send troops to Afghanistan. He also asked his government to sever diplomatic relations with the Pakistani government if it did not seek his release.

The video also contained a statement by the Taliban claiming they held other foreigners, including a Chinese, who would meet the same fate if the Pakistani government refused to accept their demands.

Wow.... just... wow.

What's so "wow" about that?
No country likes mumbling outsiders who are up to no good.

 

[A.Rahman]

Wow.... just... wow.

Go to any country and you would see that the punishment of a spy is death.

 

[Energon]

Go to any country and you would see that the punishment of a spy is death.

Sure, but I'm having a tough time finding the clause where the self appointed judge, jury and executioners are bonafide killers and terrorists themselves.

Daniel Pearl was a journalist; just because the Islamic psychopaths declared him a "spy" for having an Israeli passport prior to murdering him doesn't necessarily make it true; and it certainly doesn't justify said murder.

 

[IceCold]

Go to any country and you would see that the punishment of a spy is death.

Definitions change when one of theirs is killed.

 

[yarmook]

In this case, Polish Government is at fault just as much as our Government. They failed to "Negotiate" terms and that's what lead to this Incident.

Interesting..

The Polish Govt ought to have done what the local Govt could not do in its own country.

Polish government has blamed Pakistani government for this incident.

But the question is should Pakistani govt have listened to militants for release of polish citizen?
