BUZZURRO

Today I read Yahoo.com for some news.

Palestinian Security Forces are negotiating for the release of the 3 British hostages that were captured in Gaza yesterday.

Makes sense to me.

“This is part of a new fad of kidnapping for extortion and seeking jobs,” Abu Khoussa said. He would not say whether negotiations were taking place.

What ? Jobseekers kidnap other people to find jobs? Isn’t it a little easier to just fax a resume to several businesses ? Pick up a Help Wanted section of a newspaper ? Go to a job agency perhaps ?

In most cases, the kidnappers have sought jobs in the Palestinian Security Forces, the release of imprisoned relatives or other personal matters. In all cases, the victims have been released safely.

Does it work ? Do people actually get jobs kidnapping other people ? And with the Palestinian Security Forces which is supposed to act like a police force too !

Abbas’ critics have accused him of giving in to kidnappers’ demands, thereby encouraging more abductions.

Sounds like it does work.

And I’ve been unemployed for so many months in Italy ! Maybe because I stay within the law.
