Explosives Strapped to Chinese Hostages

CHAGMALAI, Pakistan - Al-Qaida-linked militants strapped explosives to the
bodies of two kidnapped Chinese engineers and threatened to kill them unless
they are given safe passage to their leader, officials said Monday.
The militants captured the Chinese, who were working on a dam project, in the
lawless South Waziristan tribal region near the Afghan border on Saturday.
The militants — believed to number four or five — were holding the
engineers in mountains a few miles from the remote village of Chagmalai,
about 220 miles southwest of the capital, Islamabad. Security forces have
surrounded the area.
Negotiations between the kidnappers and a delegation including tribal elders
and a local lawmaker failed to secure the captives' release Sunday, and
elders were meeting in the nearby town of Tank on Monday to consider their
next move.
Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao said earlier the kidnappers were
demanding safe passage with the hostages to meet with their leader Abdullah
Mehsud — who is reportedly hiding in nearby hills.
"We are dealing with terrorists who have mines and other detonating material
tied to their bodies and as well as to those of the Chinese victims," said
Sherpao.
Noting Pakistan's strong ties with China, he said: "We don't want any harm
caused to the Chinese engineers."
Sherpao said Mehsud is a former U.S. prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and is
disabled in one leg, an injury suffered during fighting in Afghanistan (news
- web sites).
Beijing has appealed to Pakistan, a longtime ally, to work for the release of
the two engineers, who are among between 70 and 80 Chinese working for a
Chinese state construction company on the Gomal Zam dam in South Waziristan.

Go all the way into the world of minds
Open the gate and do not close behind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Prevent them from tellin' us tales
Or the end of all they scare us with will be a million empty brains...
