Guest dada_rocks Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 http://www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20090209&fname=raman&sid=1 spokesman of the Darra Adamkhel Valley (DAV) branch of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is reported to have phoned the News of Pakistan on February 7, 2009, to claim that following the repeated refusal of the government to release four detainees of the TTP, the DAV branch beheaded on February 6, 2009, a Polish engineer by name Peter Stanczak, who was kidnapped from the Pind Sultani area of Jund in the Attock district of the Punjab on September 28, 2008. The spokesman also reportedly said that the beheading was also in reprisal against repeated strikes by the Predator (unmanned) aircraft of the US on suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban hide-outs in the Pakistani territory. He accused the Pakistani government of tacitly co-operating with the US in these air strikes. He added that the DAV branch originally wanted to demand also the withdrawal of the Polish troops in the NATO contingent in Afghanistan, but decided not to do so. Stanczak was employed by a Polish firm which has been helping in Pakistan’s national seismic survey .
