3 Year Old British Hostage Threatened

I'm speechless. BBC:

Kidnappers who seized a three-year-old UK girl in Nigeria have threatened to kill her unless her father agrees to take her place, her mother says....

"The people who are holding her just called again and they were threatening to kill the baby," Oluchi Hill was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

"They accused me of trying to play games with them."

Interestingly, the main group which profits from the hostage racket in Nigeria is the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has agreed to help rescue the girl. Apparently kidnapping adult men is okay for MEND, but women and children are beyond the pale. The group, literally, kidnaps someone new nearly every week.

As I have noted before MEND is attempting to split off the christian south off from the muslim north. They claim that the profits of all of the oil that is extracted from south goes to the muslim controlled government in the north.

4  The difference between insurgents and terrorists:  even insurgents recognize that some things are just 'beyond the pale.'

5 It goes to far to actually choose a helpless child as your target.  I can't say much about if the child is older and has a gun pointed ... Police and others have to face that some times. But this horror of seizing and/or exlpoiting little children has to be considered one of the greatest of evils.                            USA, all the way!
