They (the kidnappers) were terrorists from the south. We have not identified their specific group . . . We have launched pursuit operations, |
This conflict could not be sustained by bandit groups of armed men without logistics support, |
This is a negotiation not for ransom, but to find out what they want and under what conditions the hostages can be released. Without fighting, the other party may not be in a condition to talk at all. |
This is definitely a big catch, |
very good trend in the past three weeks. |
We are not aware of any ransom paid for any of the hostages, |
We hope that in the next few hours, or thereabouts, we will get more concrete information about these hostages, |
We've got a very big guy, |
What we need now is any assistance on information gathering or intelligence gathering, |
