(Message from the local area)
From our last [news update] about Cyd, the woman who was kidnapped in Kandahar, Af. over 50 days ago, you may think that the affair is all over since there was strong indication from a couple of sources that she and her driver were probably killed.

So, we are still praying for a miracle in Cyd's and her driver's lives and ask that you do the same. Thank you.
