Tell Me a Secret

hey:))
baghdad seems to me as a really sad city.
in ashoora..al the streets were empty....it is not the same baghdad that i know and love..it is a city of ghosts..where you can smell death instead of air..and where your heart is expecting a shock all the time..this is what baghdad looked like in ashoora.
my cousine...who is a 20 archetect student...left his place the day before ashoora (or the day before) by his car early morning..heading to the uni,, couple of hundreds of meters away only from his place..someone shouted "a float tire" and when he got out to check..he found guns pointed at him and people asking him to get in the car with them..they left the car there..and kidnapped him.
the day after..they called..saying that they want 200. 000$ yes..two hundreds thousands US dollars to release him.
and the negotiations are still going on..
one of the gang that kidnapped him seems to be a nice guy...when he is alone with my cousin..he lets him call his parents!! isnt that just sweet?
it is becoming a comon event..to hear that someone was kidnapped..people dont get too worry anymore when their children are kidnapped..it is a matter of few days of missing him only...and a financial disaster that coasts the family all what they worked for their intire life.
isnt it nice that we still trust each other?? we have the faith that they always keep their word and dont kill the kidnapped person..how nice!
well.to tell the truth..my friend's brother was kidnapped..and they paid alooot of many..i heared that they sold a house they have in Jadiriyya..a fancy neighborhood..but their gang werent that nice...they killed the boy.
pray for us.
