Syria s Hijacked Struggle

Like me, they were all forcibly abducted.

A chemical weapons ban should not be hostage to nuclear weapons.

Doc, that's blackmail.

Yes, but why should they go to all this trouble to kidnap a harmless little governess?

And he's holding it over my head.

Mr. Wilkes, who can't be mentally faithful to his wife... and won't be unfaithful to her technically.

With a sledgehammer?

But Tilde was blackmailing us.

You're blackmailing me into marrying you.

Letting them beat us.

Hundreds of armed persons had occupied military and civilian facilities, taken hostages and killed scores of people.

Did you really think you could put that over on Kane?

The Special Rapporteurs called upon the Government to investigate the threats against and murder of Nizam Ahmed and Nadeen Ahmed and to investigate the threats against Akram Sheikh and ensure his safety.

Of course, the comic figure in all this is the longsuffering Mr. Wilkes.

The hostage takers who had been rendered unconscious by the gas were not taken into custody, they were simply shot in the head.

You want to be an Indian now? they said, finger on the trigger.

Among the specific terrorist activities addressed were, for example, the incitement to commit terrorist acts, hostage taking and the prevention and combating of smuggling of radioactive sources.

So when they had a look at it afterward, there were only a couple of people who'd apparently been shot by the hostage takers or shot by the police forces coming in and trying to deal with the situation.

We go over to the jail, and you let Joe go, or we tuck you 2 away and make a trade with Stumpy.

Still, if as you suggest, your actions can be construed as blackmail my actions?

And the other thing that happens is that we're all carrying around little Mary Poppins technology.

Félix Faría Arias was detained on 8 March 1997 in Baruta, near Caracas, as he was about to enter his house, by two individuals identifying themselves as members of the Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services (DISIP).

In the resulting administrative vacuum, the CPN M have attempted to set up their own civil structures, often based on coercion and the extortion of exorbitant taxes aimed at sustaining the armed struggle.

And did I tell you, Caroline, that Capt. Butler... made a stupendous contribution to the Association for the Beautification... of the Graves of the Glorious Dead?

To spend the rest of my time worrying when I'll be caught up with... by some hoodlum holding a first mortgage on my life... payable on demand?

Although he had reported the threats to the authorities, no steps were apparently taken to investigate the threats or provide him with protection.

The terrorist attacks of the past year, including the hostage taking in Beslan, Russian Federation, in September 2004 and the recent bombings in London in July 2005, once again brought the urgency of addressing the threat of international terrorism to the attention of the international community.

4. Requests the Secretary General to take the steps necessary to ensure that mobility is not used as an instrument of coercion against staff and to ensure that appropriate monitoring and accountability measures are in place

My delegation wishes to conclude by indicating that we will ensure that no attempt is made to use this resolution's adoption as a means of blackmailing the Organization.

A further complication concerns North Korea s nuclear aspirations. The North appears to be convinced that, with nuclear weapons, it can maintain complete diplomatic independence, and that China, fearing nuclear blackmail, will never abandon it.

My homeland has become a place where too many people are victims, succumbing to a virus, or gunned down by a drug trafficker assaulted by a robber, shot by an ill trained policeman, or kidnapped by a member of a criminal gang. The flu epidemic, which probably began in the southern state of Veracruz, is yet another sign that all is not well in Mexico.

56. His delegation was gravely concerned about a certain degree of pressure, and even direct threats, which went beyond the right of any Member State to decide whether or not it would remain a member of a specific international organization and to seek to hold the United Nations hostage for domestic political reasons, to the detriment of the sovereign equality of Member States.

Puzzlingly, US Secretary of State John Kerry, justifying plans to provide the FSA s Supreme Military Council with additional assistance, has cited the danger of letting this country, the heart of the Middle East become hijacked by extremists. But to oppose extremism and support the FSA is a blatant contradiction.

Indeed, Iraqi children are exposed to beating without regard for their age and for myriad reasons, thus growing up insecure, hostile, and violent. Moreover, they are prone to being kidnapped by criminal gangs, trained to steal or pickpocket, or, worse, placed at the mercy of terrorists for use in attacks.

As in any democracy, public criticism of Turkey s government policies is normal and healthy. But attempts by Gülen aligned members of the judiciary and the police force to blackmail, threaten, and illegally bargain with the government are unacceptable.

Tensions increased dramatically when Mashal signed the unity agreement with Fatah, after stating his intention to resign as head of the political bureau. While that announcement may have been political blackmail aimed at forcing Gaza into line, it underscored Mashal s confidence in his popularity, which has since been vindicated by expressions of support from both within and outside of the political bureau for him to remain in charge.

LONDON There is something rotten about the European Union s debate on migration. The continent s political leaders, paralyzed by the rise of anti immigrant populism, are turning their backs on desperately vulnerable people fleeing war, human rights abuses, and economic collapse.

Such blackmail might work for a suicide bomber. But Greece is just holding a gun to its own head and Europe does not need to care very much if it pulls the trigger.

Most immediately, Kim s aim is to pressure Barack Obama s administration into weakening the US led sanctions against North Korea, having evidently decided that his dynasty has no future so long as the sanctions remain in place. To drive the point home, his regime has been refusing to attend multilateral talks.

CMake Support, Run Support, Kross Support

And then I said, carry on. Carry on. Carry on.

Does any of you wish to have an orchard full of date palm trees and vines, and streams of running water and fruits of all kinds, and then old age should overtake him while his children are small, and a scorching whirlwind should smite and burn it down? Thus God makes His signs clear to you that you may reflect.
