US woman held hostage by Taliban group in Pakistan reveals truth behind her rescue

Posted: 25 Oct 2017 09:31 PM PDT

Caitlan Coleman, the 31-year-old American woman who gave birth to three children while held hostage by the Haqqani network, has disputed Pakistan's account of her rescue in an interview likely to embarrass the country's powerful military. Pakistan has long bridled at accusations it harbours militants including the Taliban-linked Haqqanis inside the country. Yet in her first interview since being released, Ms Coleman said that she and her family had spent "more than a year" in Pakistan before their rescue on October 11. Pakistan's military had claimed to have freed the hostages as they were crossing the border from Afghanistan. "We were not crossing into Pakistan that day", Ms Coleman told the Toronto Star, explaining that the Haqqanis had often kept her and her husband, whom they had captured in 2012, in Pakistan. We were not crossing into Pakistan that day The family passed their final few months in between Kohat and Banu, districts in the lawless tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, she said. According to Ms Coleman her husband, Joshua Boyle, 34, understood enough Farsi to keep tabs on their location. Such claims corroborate the view of US officials, who last week told Reuters they believed the couple were held near the Haqqanis' headquarters in northwest Pakistan. However, Ms Coleman also sought to clarify that the couple crossed the border regularly and, in contrast to the statement of CIA Director Mike Pompeo, did not spend the entire five years of their captivity in the country. The revelations come at a time when America is piling on pressure for Pakistan to "do more" in the fight against terrorism. Speaking from Delhi, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson yesterday said that extremists pose "a threat to Pakistan's own stability". "Nobody lends any credence to government claims that Haqqanis are not in Pakistan," said a security analyst, who requested anonymity. But Ms Coleman's statement "is a very blatant bit of counter-narrative".

The sexual assault, she said, came after her and Mr Boyle's attempt to pass out notes written on scraps of paper to passersby. The couple called the child they lost, "Martyr". Ms Coleman says oestrogen was added to her food in order to force a miscarriage, after Mr Boyle – who was previously married to the sister of a Guantanamo inmate – refused to join the Haqqanis. Ms Coleman, who wore a hijab during her interview, refused to comment on whether she had converted to Islam.

Israel approves major expansion of east Jerusalem settlement

Posted: 25 Oct 2017 05:38 PM PDT

Israeli authorities on Wednesday approved a major expansion of an east Jerusalem settlement, signing off on plans to add 176 homes, the city's deputy mayor said. The latest approvals come after Israel last week advanced plans for more than 2,600 settlement homes in various areas of the occupied West Bank. The expansion approved on Wednesday would create the largest Israeli settlement inside a Palestinian neighbourhood of the city, NGOs say.
