Badr Brigades Claims Kidnapping of Maltese Citizen

The Site Institute has published a report that claims that a Maltese citizen has been kidnapped by the organization Badr Brigades. Site Institute is an organisation that tracks the activities of international terrorists. From the Site Institute report:

The Badr Brigades claim to have kidnapped a Maltese citizen named Hajya Khalil whom they assert passed information to “the enemy” about the movements and whereabouts of mujahideen in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The group says they “arrested” him in a unnamed European country.

The group says he will be killed without any negotiations: “As we were attacked, we will respond, in the same language of force: we stand and declare to all that we will not negotiate over this hostage in any way. His lot will be in the hands of our brother Mujahideen in the Country of the Two Rivers [Iraq] or in the Country of the Two Mosques [Saudi Arabia]. He will be transferred to them, together with his briefcase, whereupon he will be slaughtered, as sheep are slaughtered.” The group posted a short video of the captive which shows him in front of the group’s banner on the floor holding what appear to be identity papers.
