Caitlan Coleman rescued in Pakistan!!!!

Caitlan Coleman, Joshua Boyle and their three children were rescued earlier this month after being abducted by Taliban-linked militants in 2012 while travelling through a mountainous region of Afghanistan.

 In October 2012, Canadian-American couple Joshua Boyle and Caitlan Coleman were kidnapped in Afghanistan while on a backpacking trip through Central and South Asia. Joshua Boyle, a Canadian citizen, and his wife Caitlan Coleman, a U.S. citizen from Stewartstown, Pennsylvania,  were held captive by the Taliban from October 2012 to October 2017. Their three children were born in captivity.

On October 11, 2017, Pakistani forces located the family in Kurram Agency and rescued them, after receiving intelligence from the U.S. that the hostages were moved over the Afghan border into northwestern Pakistan that same day.

Disputing claims about her rescue, the recently recovered Caitlan Coleman has said that she was in Pakistan for at least a year before she was "rescued" by Pakistan Army.

While speaking to the Toronto Star in her first interview since her recovery, Coleman said: "Right now, everybody’s shunting blame and making claims. Pakistan says no, they were never in Pakistan until the end. The US says, no they were always in Pakistan; it was Pakistan’s responsibility. But neither of those are true."

She also said that she is certain that they were held in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. "We were not crossing into Pakistan that day. We had been in Pakistan for more than a year at that point."

Coleman, an American national, revealed in the interview — published on October 23 — that the couple were moved to Pakistan immediately after being kidnapped in Afghanistan.

She said that her kidnappers took them to Miramshah in North Waziristan where they were kept for almost a year, adding that they knew where they were because her husband, Joshua Boyle, could understand some Farsi.

Revelations!!

Her 34-year-old husband, however, began speaking just hours after landing in Toronto, telling journalists at the airport that his wife had been raped and one of his daughters murdered.

Coleman said on October 23, that the forced abortion was in retaliation for Boyle’s refusal of Haqqani network efforts to recruit him. “They were very angry because Joshua had been asked to join them, to work for them, and he said no,” she said. “They killed her by dosing the food. They put massive doses of estrogen in the food.” The Taliban last week issued a statement refuting the claim, saying she miscarried naturally.

Al-Qaeda connection!!!!!!!

Joshua Boyle, is perhaps best known for his brief marriage to Omar Khadr’s older sister.  Omar  and Zaynab are children of Ahmed Said Khadr, who was accused by the U.S. and Canada of being an associate and financier for the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Ahmed Khadr studied at the University of Ottawa, and the family moved between Canada, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Boyle married Zaynab Khadr in 2009. He was 25, she was 29. It was the third marriage for Zaynab. The first two were arranged: her first husband was sought as a conspirator in a bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan; Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri were among the guests at her second wedding in Afghanistan.  The marriage didn’t last long, though. They divorced in 2010.  The next year, Boyle married Caitlan Coleman, a U.S. citizen who grew up in rural Stewartstown, Pa.
