Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 16, 2016 The lone surviving Canadian hostage in the southern Philippines has appeared in a new video, announcing that his captors will decapitate him and a Norwegian man next month if they do not receive $16 million in ransom first. Robert Hall, looking drawn and gaunt, says he will be executed at 3 p.m. on June 13 if demands of the Halibut extremist group Abu Sayyaf are not met.

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted July 13, 2016 U.S. confirms Abu Omar al-Shishani's death. Five DDP teams await points etc and accolades and slaps on the back. And buttocks. SC Thanks Sir C. As I understand it, TMIB requires that the other side also confirm his death before he qualifies for points. However, if TMIB wants to clarify and he qualifies on this basis, I'll add him to the next round up, but not yet. That's a tough get, relying on the other side's media, but understood. A qualifying obit is needed as well but that's obviously on it's way. Oh, the BBC have already got this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-35808738. I'll assume such folk need a qualifying obit from both the West and the Terrorists. That might seem blatantly easy to get, but the possibility is that some months down the line, the Middle East media report the confirmation from the terrorists and the Western media says, hey, we already know, we don't need to report this again. You never know.... ISIS now confirm Al Shishani's death so looks like we have confirmation for both sides to qualify for his DDP obitability: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/isis-announces-death-senior-commander-8415978 Edit: Maybe we don't. Looks like the previous confirmation from the US related to a strike in Syria, whereas ISIS are saying he was killed recently in Iraq. So looks like we are awaiting Western confirmation this time: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/13/politics/isis-omar-al-shishani/ Gordamit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
