Kidnap group split over fate of UN hostages
The purported leader of Taliban-linked militants holding three United Nations hostages, including Armagh woman Annetta Flanigan, said his group was split over whether they should “get rid” of the captives.
After a deadline set for reaching a deal for the hostages’ release passed last night, Jaish-al Muslimeen leader Mohammed Akbar Agha said the group would meet to decide their fate.
