Pakistan faces a lose-lose situation

Al-Qaeda-linked militants released a video of Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan, Tariq Azizuddin, who was captured in Khyber Agency on February 11.

Tariq was on his way to Kabul when he was abducted by tribal criminals for ransom. But after they realized they had kidnapped a very high profile person they knew they were out of their depth and handed him over to Baitullah Mehsud, a leader of the Pakistani Taliban with ties to al-Qaeda.
