Polish Hostage Teresa Borcz Khalifa Freed
Polish hostage Teresa Borcz Khalifa has been freed by her terrorist captors and returned to Poland. Teresa Borcz-Kalifa was taken hostage on October 28th by the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Fundamentalist Brigades. The group had demanded the withdrawal of Polish troops from Iraq and the release of all female prisoners by the Coalition. Al Jazeera claimed that the terrorists made no death threat agains Mrs. Khalifa.
On a sad note, this means that the mutilated body of a woman found in Fallujah last week is most certainly that of Margaret Hassan. Keith Taylor thinks the same. Two days ago, the Prime Minister of Australia had announced the body was that of Mrs. Hassan, but later retracted the statement.
The Editor notes that Mrs. Khalifa may have a wee bit of Stockholm syndrome.
