[Short prayer in Arabic] [Terrorists]: “We are the ones who abducted these people at the train. We decided to release this man because of the honour of the month of Ramadan and he is old. He has been pleading since we abducted him. The government should know that the train attack is just a little of what we can do. We would let this captive about to be released to speak, if he has something to say. ” [Hassan] “I was allowed to go becouse of my age. But I have left several captives behind. The FG needs to look for the leaders of this group to negotiate the release of the other captives..Their situation is bad and the are I dare need of assistance.” [Terrorists]: “We don’t need your money….you need to come and speak with us quickly, or we would turn their camp into an abattoir. Killing them is nothing to us.”
