Hardly likely he masterminded it... unless of course he was thinking he could get the money back from the UK or Pakistan governments but that would be a huge gambleCoffee's for closersComment

Looks to me like it could have been a sting operation. I.e. the money was given by the govt, in order to catch the criminals. It's possible that the European arrests were of people who weren't involved in the kidnap, but were attempting to cash in on it.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

What surprises me is, Pakistani militants asking for ransom money. Its too tame. They always ask for some militant jailed for 20 years to be released.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

How do you know they always ask for that? Not like we get a tonne of reports on kidnapping on Pakistan, who's to say it's not common to ask for money?Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
