British Red Cross worker killed in Pakistan

The body of a British Red Cross worker who had been held captive in Pakistan since January was found dumped in an orchard Sunday with a note attached to it saying he was killed because a ransom hadn’t been paid to his captors, police said.

Khalil Rasjed Dale, 60, was managing a health program in the city of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan when armed men seized him from the street close to his office. The identities of his captors are unknown, but the region is home to separatist and Islamist militants who have kidnapped for ransom before.
