Red Cross worker found decapitated in Pakistan Apr 30th 2012, 00:12 Apparently because no ransom was paid. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-Pakistan.html Quote: Local officials said his bullet-riddled body was found on a road outside the city in a bag addressed to the police chief. A note said he had been killed because a ransom had not been paid. Yves Daccord, Director-General of the ICRC, condemned the killing. "All of us at the ICRC and at the British Red Cross share the grief and outrage of Khalil's family and friends," he said. "We are devastated. Khalil was a trusted and very experienced Red Cross staff member who significantly contributed to the humanitarian cause." ... ...He had worked for the Red Cross in some of the world's most dangerous places, including Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. In Pakistan, he had been working as a health-programme manager in Quetta for almost a year. He was abducted by unidentified armed men while returning home from work on January 5. About eight gunmen stopped his vehicle before forcing him into another car.
