Roman Polanski Breaks Silence, Says U.S. Wants to 'Serve Me on a Platter'
In comments to an online magazine run by one of his supporters, Polanski said: "I can no longer remain silent because the United States continues to demand my extradition more to serve me on a platter to the media of the world than to pronounce a judgment concerning which an agreement was reached 33 years ago."
Polanski laid out his case while being holed up in his Alpine Swiss chalet.
"I have had my share of dramas and joys, as we all have, and I am not going to try to ask you to pity my lot in life," he wrote. "I ask only to be treated fairly like anyone else."
Polanski suggests the case against him is unjust and riddled with problems. Each argument begins with the phrase: "I can remain silent no longer."
One of Polanski's complaints concerns Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, "who is handling this case and has requested (the) extradition, is himself campaigning for election and needs media publicity!" Cooley is running for California attorney general.
The district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the office "will withhold comment until the Swiss make a decision on his fugitive status."
Polanski fled the United States in 1978 on the eve of sentencing; he had pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual contact with a minor. Her attorney argued she had the right to ask that the case be dismissed and urged the court to do so.
Polanski was accused of plying the teen with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill, then raping her during a modeling shoot at Jack Nicholson's house in 1977.
Polanski was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. He later pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse in a plea bargain.

So this is what happens to the brain when you get away with rape for all these years...YOU FEEL ENTITLED like you're the victim! Hollywood would probably give him an Oscar an a standing ovation!

In this world, money buys everything. Especially if you also happen to be famous and have high profile friends that will stick up for you, even when you rape and sodomize a young girl. He has had his time, and now it's time for him to pay. They should stick him in GP. Bet he wouldn't take "rape" so lightly then!

I had sympathy for the child when it happened. Like i said i don't believe she was his only victim. I think she has a responsibility to make sure he cannot get near another child ever again.

Polanski came to an settlement some years ago with the woman who was a teen when all this happened. And the judge in office at the time was planning to renege on a plea deal that Polanski's attorneys had made for him. Polanski found out THE NIGHT BEFORE his court appearance. I would have fled too. This whole fiasco is surfacing NOW that the judge at the time is now deceased, and LA County needs to flex its muscle after 2 previous failures on celeb convictions(Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson)

LOUISE WATT= BEIJING (AP) — China's four-point plan for Syria is a rare foray into international mediation for the rising power, a sign that Beijing's increasingly global economic interests can trump its traditional hands-off diplomacy.
Outgoing President Hu Jintao, in his agenda-setting report this week at a Communist Party gathering to choose the coming decade's leadership, signaled China's intent to step out more on the world stage, while underlining China's uneasiness with intervention in the affairs of other countries.
While the U.N. has welcomed the plan, but there hasn't been much international discussion of it.
Observers have found it vague, and likely aimed at bolstering China's reputation following criticism of its moves to join Russia in blocking U.N. resolutions aimed at ending Syria's bloodshed, including calls for Syrian leader Bashar Assad to step down.

A Mining Company with a Heart of Gold – Comstock Mining, Inc
By Dawn Cranfield
A Mining Company with a Heart of Gold – Comstock Mining, Inc.
Comstock Mining, Inc. had their first pour of gold and silver doré, unrefined gold bullion, on September 29, 2012; in October, they hosted a three-day community event celebrating the historic event. The return of mining to the historic Comstock mining district and the community at large means more than just the gold and silver being mined from the hills, it is about the pioneering spirit of a company and the revitalization efforts of the people involved.
At nearly 99.9% US citizenship owned, Comstock Mining, Inc. is a unique company focused solely on the Comstock and the people living in the area. They employ approximately 100 people, and for a small community like Gold Hill, Virginia City, and Silver City, their numbers are significant.
We have all heard how "Mining Works for Nevada", and, it does; the tax revenue alone from the Lucerne Mine is projected to bring in roughly $500,000 for Storey County during 2013. That is a projected figure based on 20,000 gold equivalent ounces; however, it is only for a year and the project is estimated to last for five years with an expansion that will increase production and add another 10 years of mine life, quite a lot of revenue for the county.
Although, for this exceptional mining company, they are not exclusively interested in exhuming all of the gold and silver they can find and leaving a barren landscape behind; they have a rather different perspective, especially in terms of working in the historic Comstock Lode. John Winfield, the Company's Chairman is by all assessments, an environmentalist with a love of nature, having received recognition from the National Humane Society and others for his protection of endangered animals and wildlife. Comstock Mining, Inc. has a covenant to preserve, protect, enhance, restore, and celebrate the Comstock Lode, and they have made a commitment to the community and the territory as a whole.
In the state of Nevada, there is no requirement for reclamation (restoration of the land) when a mining company is finished with their project on an open-pit or surface mine, other than to secure the area for safety. Shocking. Still, Comstock Mining, Inc. has pledged 1% annually of
gross revenue towards reclamation. They plan to grade, reseed the area using native grasses, and to leave an area exposed for tourism purposes.
The enthusiasm for the rich history is apparent; the company made repairs to the Dayton Consolidated Mill when they saw it was in need of maintenance and in danger of falling to the ground. Eventually, Comstock Mining, Inc. purchased the site along with other historic mills and wants to restore them to museum quality to open to the public.
In their efforts to revitalize the area, they have also purchased the old Cabin in the Sky; a dilapidated restaurant that used to belong to Joe Conforte. The building has been empty for years; as a tourist driving by, it is mostly an eyesore and a passing nod to the economic downturn of our country. However, this innovative mining company wants to restore it, turning it into a visitor's center and administrative offices for some of their staff.
The Gold Hill Hotel just a mile south of Virginia City was for sale, the owners ready to retire; it had been on the market for a few years and the 20 or so employees were concerned about losing their jobs. Comstock Mining, Inc. purchased the combination hotel, restaurant, and bar, along with the cottages and Gold Hill Hall across the street.
It isn't just the economic development and revitalization efforts that make this mining company so distinctive; it is the way they treat their employees.
Marcus, a young miner talked to me one evening, "That guy over there," pointing to the CEO, Corrado De Gasperis, "Makes me love my job. What other CEO would know every one of our names? Or would even care who we are?" Just then, Corrado walked up and greeted the young man and his two companions by name.
Yes, Marcus, what other CEO would know your name?
10 Responses to A Mining Company with a Heart of Gold – Comstock Mining, Inc
Just trying to connect before I leave…
I thought I posted about this, but my comment never appeared. Sorry if I've double posted somehow.
Dawn, as you could have easily discovered, the state of Nevada most certainly requires reclamation for both mining exploration and mining, along with the posting of bond sufficient to cover it (http://ndep.nv.gov/bmrr/index.htm). Comstock Mining Inc is doing nothing out of the goodness of their hearts. I think you have been sand-bagged by CMI on this story.
I hope you'll decide to actually do some real reporting about this project and its very complex ramifications regarding the integrity of the Virginia City National Historic Landmark and health and safety of residents and visitors.
People with the other side of the story are easy to find: just look for the "no open pit" signs!
I've been a follower of 321gold for years, and have followed all the articles for Comstock, duly impressed with the way they do business. At different times I thought I'd buy stock, and sadly didn't. I've since seen the errors of my ways, and as Bob M would say, "do your own due diligence", that said i've purchased stock on two occasions, and plan on more. They are a leader in how mining companies should conduct themselves.

This MS61 coin has a far better appearance than most survivors; while striking weakness is present at the centers, particularly on the reverse, Liberty's hair shows above-average definition, and many stars have their centrils. Yellow-gold surfaces are brightly lustrous with amber overtones. There are no marks of any individual significance, though numerous wispy abrasions combine to account for the grade.

If skipping was an Olympic event, I would take home the Gold, Silver and Bronze. I've signed up last-minute and finished a full marathon without training for it. All I remember is an IV drip and feeling like a million dollars. Some of my female patients tell me I'm quite a hunk. I have yet to figure out "a hunk" of what?!? I still kinda believe in Santa. I can dance without music. It's romantic with a partner but borderline "Aww, I think he needs help" when done alone wearing nothing but a hospital gown, slippers and sunglasses on Times Square. I'm partial to bacon and occasionally cooking naked with an apron. Just not cooking bacon that way. Ouch! I always return my shopping carts and sometimes other people's as well. A corralled shopping cart is an endangered species, so I'm trying to save the world one shopping cart at a time. Think globally, act locally, you know. Did I mention I like bacon? But I'm really mostly vegetarian. Go figure. I have also recently discovered bacon jerky, and it's absolutely divine. My most useful skill after years of schooling is assembling IKEA furniture. Finally, I believe the children are our future... teach them well and let them lead the way... I'm looking for a woman who is fit, healthy, happy and has all her own teeth. A woman who knows how to bathe regularly, with or without my assistance. Someone who will want to have 1.7-2.8 kids someday as well. I'm not looking for the typical high maintenance girl... just as long as you are beautiful on the inside, outside and/or in the dark. If you don't have a sense of humor, we're not going to get a long. Let's grab some coffee and bacon together sometime. I'll share my bacon. Sharing is caring, you know. I learned that in kindergarten. It's also where I got my higher education. I'm looking forward to making you smile, laugh and snort. Some girls snort when they laugh. It's okay. I won't tell.

CLEMSON, S.C. - Clemson fans were so excited about Willy Korn joining the Tigers a few years back, they lined up for his autograph when he was still in high school.
These days, it's Korn trying to line up his future, contacting both FBS and FCS schools about continuing his college career somewhere else. With starter Kyle Parker just a freshman and talented newcomer Tajh Boyd ready to compete this spring, Korn announced earlier this month he'd give up his long held goal of starting for the Tigers and transfer out of the program.
"Quarterback for sale," Korn joked to reporters Tuesday night after Clemson started practice for the Music City Bowl later this month.
Korn won't be the first high-profile quarterback to leave a BCS school for the Championship Subdivision. And he thinks it won't mean the end of his time in the spotlight.
"There are plenty of stories out there" of players who excel at their new school, Korn said. Former Florida quarterback "Ingle Martin for instance at Furman, and Joe Flacco (of Delaware), he's doing pretty well now."
Still, it was far from how the friendly, blonde-haired high school star figured to depart Clemson.
Korn led one of South Carolina's most successful high schools, James F. Byrnes, to a pair of state championships while directing an eye-popping offense. His accuracy and running ability made the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Korn into one of the country's top prospects, earning him an invite to the prestigious Elite 11 quarterback camp in 2006 along with South Carolina's Stephen Garcia, Virginia Tech's Tyrod Taylor and Arkansas' Ryan Mallett.
Clemson coaches loved Korn's skillset. Tiger fans loved his commitment to his future college, tracking his games at Byrnes - about an hour's ride northeast of Clemson - and chasing him down for autographs and handshakes.
The hype and expectations continued when Korn got to school, some backers anointing him a starter despite a fourth-year junior in Cullen Harper set to start the 2007 season. Despite Harper's rise, Tiger fans couldn't give up their Korn fix.
In Clemson's second game that season, Harper set a school record with five touchdown passes to beat Louisiana-Monroe 49-26. One of the day's loudest ovations at Death Valley? When Korn jogged in for his college debut with the game's result decided.
"It's crazy. It's hard to believe sometimes," Korn said of the attention. "That's just kind of the nature of college football, especially our fans. They love everybody in that locker room."
Korn's fortunes took a bad turn during his only start at Clemson. Coach Tommy Bowden had tabbed Korn to replace struggling senior Harper after the a loss at Wake Forest in 2008. Bowden was out before the next game and receivers coach Dabo Swinney took over as interim coach.
Then Korn hurt his shoulder throwing a pass early on against Georgia Tech. He needed offseason surgery and had trouble with his arm strength and mechanics during 2009 spring practice. By that time, the rocket-armed Parker had moved in front of the quarterback race and was named the starter.
Swinney had said Korn would see action in most games, but he has made only one appearance in Clemson's past five games.
Korn said he and his family discussed at midseason about leaving Clemson. He made the formal announcement this month, choosing to finish his communications degree and graduate in May before moving on.
Korn knows it will be difficult giving up his friends and teammates of the past two years. In the end, he knew "the greatest thing that's going to make me happy 10 years from now is playing ball, playing the game that you love," Korn said.
Clemson offensive coordinator Billy Napier says Korn was a model of how to handle yourself when things don't go your way. Korn attended every meeting, prepared like a starter and helped younger players with the Tigers' system.
"He had a huge part to do with our success in ways people might not understand," Napier said. "It's great to be around him."
Korn hopes to pick a new school by the end of January. He's not limiting himself to the Southeast, either.
"If I've got to go to a school nobody's ever heard of in North Dakota, that's what I'll do," he said. "I've got two years to have fun and finish off my career on a high note."
Holliday signs up with Marshall
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick says West Virginia assistant John "Doc" Holliday has signed a five-year contract to coach the Thundering Herd.
Hamrick says Holliday will be paid $600,000 per season. The school has scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Thursday to introduce Holliday.
Holliday replaces Mark Snyder, who resigned Nov. 29 after going 22-37 in five seasons.
It's the first head coaching job for the 52-year-old Holliday after three decades as an assistant, most of them with the Mountaineers. He has the task of restoring respectability to a program that hasn't had a winning season since 2003.
Defensive coordinator Rick Minter will coach Marshall (6-6) in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl in Detroit on Dec. 26.

CLEMSON, S.C. - C.J. Spiller has earned another big honor, one that required him to walk instead of run.
The Clemson All-American running back received his bachelor's degree in sociology on Thursday. He received a loud ovation from the crowd of about 10,000 at Littlejohn Coliseum, and a standing ovation from the university's board of trustees.
Spiller set several career marks in helping the Tigers win the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division this season. He was named the ACC player of the year, finishing the season with 1,145 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns.
Spiller and Clemson play in the Music City Bowl against Kentucky on Dec. 27.
MacIntyre introduced at San Jose
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Mike MacIntyre had to change his Christmas plans at the last second. He's more than happy about it.
San Jose State has hired the Duke defensive coordinator to replace Dick Tomey as football coach. MacIntyre, who assumes his first head job, was formally introduced Thursday.
"I grew up a coach's son so today is a great moment for me," MacIntyre said. "Coach Tomey is a legend in our field and I've followed him from afar."
MacIntyre teared up a little when speaking of his father, former Vanderbilt coach George MacIntyre, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and was unable to attend the news conference.
"He's a man I love and admire very much," MacIntyre said. "I wish he could be here."
San Jose State went 2-10 this season under Tomey, who announced his retirement last month. Tomey spent five seasons with the Spartans, going 25-35 and leading them to a bowl game in 2006.
The 44-year-old MacIntyre spent the past two seasons at Duke. He has also worked as a secondary coach in the NFL with Dallas and the New York Jets and spent five seasons as an assistant at Mississippi.

Naples' Candice Jolly helps inspire future female monster truck drivers
Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam Summer Heat
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 13-14; 2 p.m. Sunday, April 15
Where: Florida Sports Park, 8250 Collier Blvd., Naples
Cost: $15 ($18 day of show).
Tickets: Florida Sports Park box office, www.monsterjam.com, Ticketmaster outlets,or by phone 800-745-3000
Five years ago.Houston's Reliant Stadium. 73,000 people. 16 trucks. One impossible task.
That was Candice Jolly's introduction to the Advance Auto Parts Monster Truck series.
She was driving her Monster Mutt Dalmatian for the first time. All she had to do was launch the four-ton, 1,500-horsepower machine nearly 30 feet in the air and over 16 trucks lined up side-by-side.
"What do I do?" asked Jolly, born, raised and still a resident of Naples.
"You'll figure it out," she was told by the pit crew.
"I was like, 'really,'" Jolly said. "Obviously, I figured it out. Racing is in my blood."
Jolly will be demonstrating her skills at the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam Summer Heat at the Florida Sports Park next weekend. Her Monster Mutt Dalmatian will compete against the likes of other 12-foot-high monster trucks such as Gravedigger, Grinder, Mohawk Warrior, Gunslinger, Stone Crusher and Monster Magic.
Three shows are scheduled: Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 15 at 2 p.m. There will also be a pit party on the track before Saturday's event where fans can meet the drivers and see the trucks up close.
When Jolly says racing in her blood, she's not exaggerating. Her family owns the Immokalee Regional Raceway.
"My mom races swamp buggies," Jolly said. "My stepfather races swamp buggies. My son, Chase, races go-karts. My youngest sister races go-karts. I have two sisters that race barrel horses. My dad races drag cars. My grandma raced swamp buggies."
So how did Jolly, who grew up racing go-karts, become one of only five female monster truck drivers worldwide? She showed up at an Advance Auto Parts Monster Truck event in 2006 at the Sports Park and auditioned.
She was hired a few days later and provided her signature Monster Mutt Dalmatian. A few months after that, Jolly, also the general manager at the City Seafood restaurant in Everglades City, found herself that day in Houston.
In March she was just one of 24 drivers to qualify for the World Monster Jam finals and the only female.
"It's great being the only female driver," said Jolly, who has raced here truck all over the world. "It's really inspirational to get to meet some of these families with dads bringing their daughters and who emailed me saying, 'I brought my daughter to this show because we're trying to make it a family sport. My daughter didn't really want to go, now she's met you and she wants to be a monster truck driver.'
They tell me that I've given them something they can do together with their daughters. It's really been special to me to meet them and hear their stories.
There's all these little girls who want to be monster truck drivers because they met me. How awesome is that?"

Tech changes landscaping parks department
Perfecting Wichita Falls' landscape is an art with some science mixed in, as Parks and Recreation Director Jack Murphy sees it.
You've probably seen some of the city crews' work. They've planted roughly 25,000 trees during the past two decades, many times using a process city personnel custom created to make the work more efficient and less labor-intensive.
The "tree spade" method of winter tree transplantation allows crews to use specially designed equipment to fit trees into the ground as if they're fitting together perfectly matched puzzle pieces. It's fast, and the city has seen a high survival rate of the trees that have been planted this way.
Parks crews have been hard at work this week lifting young trees from the nursery, guiding them onto a specially made trailer, and placing them into the ground, where they will grow and thrive.
Winter is the ideal time to move deciduous trees because the branches are bare, and this window gives the roots time to get acclimated before spring growth starts, Murphy said.
Years ago, Wichita Falls took a more traditional approach to tree transplantation, using the "ball and burlap" method that involves balling a tree's roots, wrapping them in burlap, and wiring the bundle for the trip from nursery to new home.
"It was very time-consuming," Murphy said. The trees were heavy, and the process could be costly. And because the ball is round, crews had to stake the newly planted trees to keep them from shifting in the wind.
"That's all avoided now," Murphy said. Wichita Falls decided to branch out, creating an innovative approach the city has been using for about 10 years.
"We invented a way of harvesting the trees that people never actually touch the tree," Murphy said.
Parks Management Coordinator Luis Martinez worked with a crew in Lakeview Cemetery as they transplanted several pine trees Wednesday afternoon.
"We plant these trees in the nursery over in Lucy Park," Martinez said. With water and care, the trees spend two to three years growing to the right size. Pine, pecan and oak trees are a few of the dozens of varieties they work with.
The pieces of the tree spade dig into the ground, bringing up the roots in a cone shape. Wichita Falls worked with the company that builds the tree spade and bought extra spades to make the cones in which the trees are transported. The city has two tree transplant trailers, each of which can haul 16 trees.
Once crews set up where they'll plant the trees, the process doesn't take long. The equipment again digs a cone-shaped hole in the ground for the tree's new spot, and the crews use the machinery to lift a tree out of its slot in the trailer.
"The tree exactly fits in the triangular hole," Murphy said.
"They'll just slide right in," Martinez said.
Parks crews moved from one tree to the next in a matter of a few minutes Wednesday.
Once a tree was in the ground, a water truck gave it a drink to keep it hydrated until plumbing could be run to it, Martinez said.
The ball and burlap process takes a lot more people than the handful necessary for the tree spade work.
This process also allows for a quick turnaround.
"Tree spade is good because we take them out that day and get them in the ground that day," Murphy said.
Some years have involved moving 1,000 or more trees, Murphy said.
The work is visible on medians, along Kell Freeway and the Falls Flyover, in parks and cemeteries, and around city buildings and public grounds.
With so many trees standing, a lot of attention and resources have to go to maintenance of those, so much of the transplantation now focuses on replacing trees.
Crews have been working with several hundred trees this season.
The city grows a wide variety of trees in its nursery, trying to keep a supply of the ones that are likely to need to be replaced. It buys those trees as seedlings, and they are planted in a line.
It has to buy other trees from time to time, for instance, when crews need to replace one among a cluster of the same type of tree and that particular variety isn't in the nursery.
Part of the art is figuring out now what types of trees are likely to be needed three years down the road, Murphy said.
"It's a neat program," Murphy said. "It's nice to see that many trees have survived due to the care of the parks crew and have the size now to provide some benefit."

Tommy Hanson: "I was having mental issues with the death of my younger brother"
May 29, 2013, 2:44 PM EDT
Last month Tommy Hanson took a bereavement leave from the Angels following the death of his stepbrother, returning to the team after six days away. He made two starts, pitching relatively well, but then decided he wasn't fully ready to return, leaving the team again for what proved to be another three weeks.
Hanson is back with the Angels now and expected to start Friday against the Astros. And the right-hander opened up to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times about what he went through since his 26-year-old stepbrother's death:
I was having mental issues with the death of my younger brother. I was just trying to get through it. I didn't know how to handle it. That was the first time anything like that had ever happened to me. I didn't know how to cope with it. … Physically, I feel great. I'm in great shape. I just had to deal with the issues going on in my head.
MLB instituting bereavement leave a few years back was a good idea, but players regularly being placed on the bereavement list can make it easy to forget that they're simply guys who just lost someone close to them and in many cases aren't prepared to return to work after 3-7 days. Kudos to the Angels for giving Hanson all the time he needed away from the team and here's hoping he's found some peace in the month since his stepbrother's death.

This is the first I had heard of this, I knew he took a bereavement leave but not why. I lost my brother when I was 24, he was 3 years younger. I was in korea at the time stationed at camp Humphries. It has been nearly 15 years and I am still saddened that my brother passed on before me. My condolences to the family, they will be in my prayers.
- garyhd01 - May 30, 2013 at 5:36 PM
like a few of the commenters I lost my brother in 1993 while I was able to deal with it my mother had problems so every year on that day I would send her a live plant so she wouldn't have to watch flowers die like her son did, finally after about 10 years she said please stop I have no room for more plants her and I will never forget will hope the best for tommy come Friday

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - MARCH 16: Leftfielder Barry Bonds #25 of the San Francisco Giants poses for a photo on March 16, 2004 in Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona. (Photo by: Robert Laberge/Getty Images)
The commemorative plaque honoring home run king Barry Bonds' record 756th clout has gone missing from AT&T Park. San Francisco Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter said Tuesday night that the reigning World Series champions in the process of replacing the plaque, which hung on the brick facade inside the ballpark beneath the flag court area in right-center field until a few days ago. The team is investigating where the missing hardware might be, Slaughter said. ''We're in the process of replacing it,'' Slaughter said. ''We're not sure what happened. We're reviewing video, but haven't found anything yet.'' There is still white glue on the brick wall where the plaque used to be. Bonds, the seven-time NL MVP, broke Hank Aaron's home run record on Aug. 7, 2007, at home in San Francisco. The slugger hasn't played since that season, finishing his 22-year major league career with 762 total home runs. He has been back to the ballpark as a fan in recent seasons, receiving standing ovat...

BEIRUT: Two Lebanese and two Syrians were among the seven kidnapped employees of Lebanese-Nigerian construction firm Setraco, the company's CEO, Said Khalaf, told The Daily Star Monday.
"Our main concern is the safety of these seven people," Khalaf said in a phone interview from Nigeria, referring to the weekend kidnapping in northern Nigeria which Islamist group Ansaru has claimed responsibility for.
The kidnapped include a Briton, an Italian, and a Greek.
According to National News Agency Sunday, the Lebanese Embassy in Nigeria told Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour the two Lebanese that had been kidnapped were Imad al-Indari and Carlos Abu Aziz.
Khalaf was not able to provide the names of the two Syrians, who may have initially been mistaken for Lebanese in early news reports claiming four Lebanese had been taken.
Armed gunmen attacked the company's compound, located in Jama're in northern Nigeria, Saturday night, killing a security guard and taking the seven employees hostage.
Khalaf went on to say they have had no contact with the kidnappers since the raid but he is confident the seven are still alive based on previous kidnappings targeting foreign companies.
The company has been working in Nigeria for over five years and the compound that was raided was home to about 18 employees, he added.
He declined to discuss the compound's security system, based on the advice of the Nigerian authorities who are investigating the case.
"This is the worst attack on foreign companies yet," said Kalaf.
"I don't think there is a reason; we don't have a motive and anyways it is too early to speculate."
The Islamist group Ansaru said Monday it was behing the kidnapping of the seven foreigners, reported Agence France Presse.
In an email statement distributed to several journalists, the group said it has "the custody of seven persons, which include Lebanese and their European counterparts working with Setraco." - With AFP
