Poor lady, but what a risk she was undertaking by being in that country.

awful
but you know if it was me, or anyone close to me, i would want them to get in and try to rescue me. even if it ended badly. the thought of being held captive for years on end, or the beheadings which is the method of choice for these groups, is just too awful to bear.

Very sad news.
