Jazeera airs purported tape of Turk kidnapping

Jazeera broadcast a tape of a man Yesterday, which it identified as Onal, being frisked by Taliban fighters after they stopped his car on a road in southern Afghanistan.

DUBAI (depkafiles) – Arab television station Al Jazeera aired a videotape which it said showed the abduction of a Turkish engineer by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan last month.

Hassan Onal was seized from a U.S.-funded highway project on October 30. His captors have demanded the release of at least six Taliban prisoners in return for the engineer, but Afghanistan’s government has rejected any swap.
