American hostage Mueller's death confirmed

[Jazzy]

U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday confirmed the death of Kayla Mueller, a U.S. aid worker who had been held hostage by Islamic State militants, saying the United States would "find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible."

Mueller's family also said in a statement that they were "heartbroken" to learn of her death and released a copy of a letter she had written in 2014 while in captivity.

The comments by Obama and the family come four days after Islamic State said Mueller, a 26-year-old humanitarian worker from Arizona, was killed when Jordanian fighter jets bombed a building where she was being held, although Jordan expressed doubt about the Islamist militant group's account of her death.

Mueller was determined to have died after her Islamic State captors privately contacted her family over the weekend, a White House spokeswoman said.

"Over the weekend, the family received a private message from Kayla's ISIL captors containing additional information," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said, using an acronym for Islamic State.

"Once this information was authenticated by the intelligence community, they concluded that Kayla was deceased," Meehan said.

A family representative, who asked not to be identified by name, said the family received a private message from her captors over the weekend containing "additional information, which the intelligence community authenticated and deemed credible."

Neither Obama nor the family gave details of the circumstances of her death. U.S. officials said that the family received an email and photo from Islamic State that confirmed she was dead.

U.S. officials said they had no evidence to support Islamic State claims that she was killed in a Jordanian air strike, adding the details surrounding her death remained unclear.

"It's unclear from the intelligence picture how she died," said one U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Mueller was the last-known American hostage held by Islamic State, which controls wide areas of Syria and Iraq. She was taken hostage while leaving a hospital in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo in August 2013.

The group has beheaded three other Americans, two Britons and two Japanese hostages - most of them aid workers or journalists - in recent months.

I know there is an overall sense that sending people into that territory is unwise, but I cannot feel anything but sorrow for this young woman's death. I only hope she did not suffer tremendously at their hands.

RIP

Did people honestly think that they would let her live?
No one, even those with the biggest hearts and best intensions should go anywhere near that hell-hole until ISIS is wiped out completely.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Don't worry I am sure it was one those barbarian and despicable Christian terrorists Obama was referring to that did this.

Trust me. ISIS thrive on spreading fear, it gives them power.
If they killed her, not only would the claim it. They'd flaunt it.

She was killed in Jordanian airstrikes. No two ways about this one.

You might have a good point? So do you agree with what Jordan is doing?

 

[identityissues8]

No. I do not.
I do not and can not agree with any action where innocents (any innocents) are seen as mere collateral damage, and their deaths a necessary evil.

ISIS are a complex issue, simply carpet bombing is unlikely to solve anything.

I figured that would be your answer. And that is why ISIS will grow and splinter off into other groups. And your religion will keep being looked at by more and more people as dangerous. And all because the peaceful ones remain quiet and can't make the hard decisions to win a war. Thank god we didn't have that attitude during WW2 on bombing Germany and Japan otherwise I might be speaking on or the other.

Kayla Mueller does not seem to be the woman our dear leader and press is making her out to be. Mother Teresa she was not.

And the poster clinches  it.

If you are going to weep, do it for immolated Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, not Kayla Mueller, the aid worker the Islamic State claims was killed in a Jordanian airstrike. Although the MSM implies she was in the Middle East as the reincarnation of Mother Teresa, she was a member of the pro-terrorist International Solidarity Movement, which effusively honors her memory:

   Abdullah Abu Rahma, coordinator of the popular committee in the village of Bil’in where Kayla joined the protests [against Israel], told ISM: “Kayla came to Palestine to stand in solidarity with us. She marched with us and faced the military that occupies our land side by side with us. For this, Kayla will always live in our hearts. We send all our support to her family and will continue, like Kayla, to work against injustice wherever it is.”

In this context, “injustice” means sanity and civilization.

Reportedly Kayla — who is said to have worked with Hamas to harass Israeli soldiers — was given to an Islamic State fighter as a bride. Her exact status and even whether she was being held against her will are not entirely clear:

   “She was a familiar figure in our area. She was hostile to Israel and supported the ‘Palestinians,’ demonstrating against us in Bil’in, Sheikh Jarrah, and at checkpoints. She slandered Israel worldwide, and was a member of anti-Israel organizations like the International Solidarity Movement. She was like many other fools who collect illusions and didn’t understand how much she was being used. Incidentally, before she was killed, she was not kept as a hostage, but was given as booty to an ISIS commander to be his private maidservant.”

A rescue attempted failed when she wouldn’t go along with a rescuer pretending to be her husband.

Only Kayla could say whether she achieved social justice, but she did find poetic justice. After all, she took the side of Muslims against the West; according to Islam, women are expendable chattel.

It looks like Kayla Mueller deserves a spot in the Moonbat Hall of Infamy next to Saint Pancake (a.k.a. Rachel Corrie), the pro-terrorist zealot who got herself killed as a martyr to the Intifada by standing in front of an Israeli bulldozer whose driver couldn’t see her.
