| Khalil Dale (telegraph.co.uk) |
The body of a British employee of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who was kidnapped in January, was found by police in Quetta city of southwest Pakistan on Sunday.
Khalil Dale, a 60-year-old Muslim convert, was working for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Quetta, capital of Baluchistan, one of the most troubled of Pakistan’s regions, when he was snatched. Dale was managing a Red Cross health program in the city when he was seized in January by gunmen.
Media reports said unidentified gunmen had demanded a ransom for the release of Dale but the ICRC had refused to pay.
Local officials said his bullet-riddled body was found on a road outside the city in a bag addressed to the police chief. A note said he had been killed because a ransom had not been paid.
Yves Daccord, Director-General of the ICRC, condemned the killing. He said, “All of us at the ICRC and at the British Red Cross share the grief and outrage of Khalil’s family and friends.”
