It is sad to see this happen but there is every chance something like this could happen. I know people criticise them for accidentally killing her but wouldn't you be more outraged if they just left her to her fate and she was taken into Pakistan or wherever and either shot or sold as a slave and then died a torturous death? I would rather have gone with risk because in my eyes, she was only going to be freed by force either way. Though of course there were the village elders trying to negotiate her release. Although I don't believe it would work, I do think they should have given them a little more time.

If that stuff was easy, everybody would be doing it.
