NP Rank:
Abducted engineer beheaded in Pakistan
It has been a few years since the beheading of CNN's Daniel Pearl but I am always
reminded of his tragedy since he spent some time based in my home town of Pune, India
with his pregnant wife Marianne. Some of you may have seen 'The Journalist and the Jehadi'
the documentary narrated by Christian Amanpour and the Angelina Jolie film it spawned called 'A Mighty Heart'.
Daniel Pearl, a dedicated investigative reporter willingly walked into the face of
death while trying to unravel the mystery of the 9/11 attacks. Not so Polish engineer Piotr Stanczak
who worked for the Geofizyka oil and gas exploration company. He was apparently used as barter
for the release of Taliban militant hostages.

updates in my opinion.
