It's Danny Peral all over again. Haven't seen this maneuver in awhile. I don't know whether its because there is a new openness with Barak taking office or simply the terrorists within Pakistan feeling the heat.
These organizations are ALWAYS "a hitherto unknown" bunch of thugs. Always. Pakistan can't bring their terrorists under control? Why?

QUETTA, Feb 7: A hitherto unknown organisation, Baloch Liberation United Front (BLUF), on Saturday claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of John Solecki, the head of the UN refugee agency in Quetta.
Mr Solecki, an American citizen, was kidnapped and his driver was shot dead after his vehicle was ambushed on Monday....
This is an image from mobile phone footage released by Online Photos Friday, purportedly showing John Solecki, a seized American U.N. worker. The kidnappers have threatened to kill Solecki within 72 hours unless more than 100 prisoners are released. The threat was contained in a letter delivered with a grainy video of the hostage to a Pakistani news agency on Friday. Solecki appears blindfolded in the short clip and appeals to the world body to act quickly to secure his release.
