- Summary:
- A report on what happens after an American has been taken hostage by a terrorist organization abroad and the desperation of a hostage's family during negotiations to get them released. American aid worker Warren Weinstein was kidnapped by al Qaeda in Pakistan in 2011 and his wife, Elaine Weinstein, spent almost four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars negotiating for his release. Elaine had advice from the FBI, despite it being illegal to pay money to terrorists who have kidnapped Americans. Warren was accidentally killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2015. The White House, FBI and CIA declined requests for comments. Includes interviews with: Elaine Weinstein, widow of Warren Weinstein, American hostage who died in captivity; and Eric Lebson, national security advisor.
