Hostage Warren Rodwell Freed by Militants in Philippines after 15 Months in Hell

Freedom for Aussie Hostage

Former soldier and Australian citizen Warren Rodwell has been released by alQaida


AUSTRALIAN hostage Warren Rodwell has been released 15 months after being kidnapped by militants in the Philippines after an undisclosed ransom was paid by his family.

Mr Rodwell, 54, looking emaciated and exhausted, was taken to Pagadian City by Abu Sayyaf Islamic fighters.
Authorities picked up the former Australian soldier and adventurer after receiving a phone call from his captors.

"I look like a racing dog," Rodwell said in a video shown on Seven News.

His captors had demanded a $2 million ransom and released several proof-of-life photos and videos in which they threatened to execute their victim in "an unusual way".

"I personally hold no hope at all for being released," Mr Rodwell said in a video last December, adding he knew little about any negotiations taking place.He said most of his captors did not speak English.
In a short video taken yesterday after his release, Mr Rodwell takes off a blue T-shirt and, smiling, points to his ribs and says: "Lose weight".

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the outcome was a huge relief for Mr Rodwell's family.

"I think all Australians will be very pleased to hear this news and delighted on behalf of the Rodwell family," Ms Gillard said.
"Mr Rodwell's family have shown a great deal of courage and stoicism in what has been a tremendously difficult situation."

Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr said the Australian Government had a strict policy against paying ransoms and would neither confirm nor deny whether the Rodwell family had arranged for any payment to be made.
Mr Rodwell may have lost half his body weight in captivity.

Warren Rodwell plea






Posted on Dec 26, 2012 Warren Rodwell is an Australian national who was kidnapped in southern Philippines last year

His kidnappers, the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf, have described hostage payments as being for "food and lodging".

"The Australian Government never pays ransoms - to do so would leave Australians exposed in all parts of the world to kidnappers who'd be motivated by a desire to get money and to get it fast from the Australian Government," Senator Carr told the ABC.
"But I won't comment on arrangements that may have been made by Mr Rodwell's family and Abu Sayyaf, the kidnappers, made through the Philippines anti-kidnapping unit and their police force."

Mr Rodwell was snatched on December 5, 2011, from his residence near Ipil, where he ran a store with his Filipina wife Miraflor Gutang. It is believed Mr Rodwell was wounded in the violent kidnapping.

Basilan Island vice-governor Al-Rasheed Sakkalahul, who negotiated with the Abu Sayyaf for Mr Rodwell's release, said the militants called him to confirm the release.

"Rodwell's family directly negotiated with the kidnappers and I do not know if they paid ransom ... my role was to get Rodwell out safely," he said.

Senator Carr said he had spoken to Mr Rodwell's "enormously relieved" sister Denise, who would fly to the Philippines.

"It's a good outcome, but I imagine that he's going to take some time to recover from what was a very unsettling experience, to say the least," he said.

Mr Rodwell was flown from Pagadian to Zamboanga, where it was understood he was being cared for and debriefed at the Philippines-US joint counter-terrorism base at Camp Navarro.
Early reports suggested Mr Rodwell attempted to fight off his kidnappers when he was initially taken.
Bloodstains were found beside his house after he was taken away by kidnappers dressed in police uniforms.
They used speedboats to take him away through a string of neighbouring islands.

Abu Sayyaf is among a number of militant Islamic separatist groups seeking to establish an Islamic enclave in the southern Philippines.
The group has a history of using kidnappings to raise funds and is known to have received support from al-Qaida.

Death Threat against Aussie Hostage Warren Rodwell
Terrorist group threatens to kill Australian hostage


A photo allegedly posted on Facebook by terrorists, dated January 25.

News.au 23 March 2013


TERRORIST group Al Harakatul Al-Islamiyyah has said it will kill Australian hostage Warren Rodwell, in the latest threat to the Australian government.


The threat was accompanied by a new photograph of Mr Rodwell surrounded by masked gunmen.
According to social media website Rappler, a post on Facebook from Tuesday by the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al Harakatul Al-Islamiyyah shows the gaunt figure of the Australian hostage.
The message contained a threat to kill Mr Rodwell if ransom money was not paid to the group immediately.
In the photo Mr Rodwell is holding a copy of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, dated January 25, 2013.
The Facebook message is directed at the Australian Government and says: "We will give you a chance to save his life before it's too late."




Kidnapped Australian Warren Rodwell


“To the Australian government, in behalf of the majlisus Shura of Alharakatul Islamiyya in southern Philippines, we officially inform you that your citizen Warren Rodwell is in our custody and control since he was abducted at Ipil, Sibugay Province, Mindanao Philippines last December 5, 2011 and now facing Islamic sharee’ah,” the group said.

"If you have concerned with your men, we will give you a chance to save his life before it’s too late, as soon as possible time (sic), otherwise he will suffer unusual way of Death,” the group added.


Foreign Minister Bob Carr told ABC radio the Federal Government was continuing to work to secure the release of Mr Rodwell. He said the Philippines government was leading the response and had devoted significant resources to securing Mr Rodwell's release.

The Federal Government has a policy not to pay kidnapper ransoms with taxpayer dollars.
But the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) last year agreed to implement Senate recommendations that families are "made aware of the option of engaging a private kidnap and ransom consultant".


"If a family chooses to engage a kidnap and ransom specialist, DFAT will continue to provide the family and their representatives with as much information as possible bearing in mind national security and privacy concerns," DFAT said.

Currently there are four other foreigners being held for ransom in the Philippines. The last ransom hostage to be executed by his captors was a Peruvian American in 2001.
There is a possibility the terrorists may not be politically motivated.

In December 2012 the terrorists released a proof-of-life video of Mr Rodwell, who was kidnapped at gunpoint on December 5, 2011, and has been held hostage in the jungles of the southern Philippines since.
A video clip released in December last year on YouTube by the group shows the 54-year-old retired soldier looking thin, haggard and depressed.


Quote:
"This video clip is to say that I'm alive. I am waiting to be released," Mr Rodwell says before adding a few seconds later: "I personally hold no hope at all for being released."

The Homebush-born man says on the video - which runs for one minute 58 seconds and is believed to be authentic - that he is being held in isolation while negotiations for his release are under way.
Mr Rodwell was taken from his Southern Philippines home by suspected extremists on December 5, 2011. He was living in the area with his wife.
DFAT’s Smart Traveller website recommends Australians do not visit the area of the Philippines where Mr Rodwell was living.


Here is the full Facebook post re-published on the website Rappler:


In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the Universe. May Allah bestow peace and blessings upon our Leader Muhammad, Leader of those who strive in Allah's way and Imam of the pious. May He also bestow peace and blessings upon his family and his companions, and all those who strive for the Sharee’ah until the Day of judgment.
We the Alharakatul Islamiyya in southern Philippines, Our Jihad will continue with the permission of Allah azza wa jalla, we will raise the flag of Islamic Sharee’ah and we would not be perturbed by the people who dispute with us and also not the people who aggress us, until you witness the dignity and the supremacy in our Ummah, or we will be meeting Allah azza wa jalla while in the advance and not in retreat.
To the Australian government, in behalf of the majlisus Shura of Alharakatul Islamiyya in southern Philippines, we officially inform you that your citizen Warren Rodwell is in our custody and control since he was abducted at Ipil, Sibugay Province, Mindanao Philippines last December 5, 2011 and now facing Islamic sharee’ah, if you have concerned with your men, we will give you a chance to save his life before it’s too late, as soon as possible time, otherwise he will suffer unusual way of Death.
To our brothers in Islam we would like to make it clear that our activities like this are not for personal interests or just to gain money for personal use, let it be known to everyone we are on war against the forces of shaytan in the Philippines, its allies and supporters, and whatever we gain from this war is to be used for our future operations and other necessities.
END


Yeah right,,, "in the name of Allah!", as if Allah, or God by any other name, would want and approve of the dreadful acts that these fanatics carry out. & I'm sure that the good Muslims of the world agree, because they suffer the consequences too.
