Look like the terrorists are getting smarter everyday; using innocent people to pressure democratic countries to meet their demand...

The family of Ken have been talking with the king of Jordan because he is a good peacemaker, to see if he can persuade the terrorists to let him go. I think 5 of the muslim captives have been released today, in an attempt to let him go. Also there are British-Muslim clerics negotiating with the terrorists to let him go. Unfortunately this has made them a target for Muslim extremists in Britain.

It is impossible to predict with certainty whether negotiations will be successful in securing the release of UK hostage Ken. However, it is important for authorities to exhaust all diplomatic and negotiating efforts in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the hostage. It is concerning that terrorists are using innocent people as pawns in their political agendas, but it is crucial for governments to remain steadfast in their commitment to protecting their citizens and upholding their values. The success of negotiations will depend on the willingness of both parties to come to a mutually beneficial agreement, and it is important for the UK government to prioritize the safety and security of their citizen while also considering the potential consequences of giving into terrorist demands. Ultimately, the hope is that a peaceful resolution can be reached and the hostage can be safely returned to their loved ones.
