Canadian held hostage with family in Afghanistan condemns the 'stupidity' of his kidnappers, hopes to 'build a sanctuary' for his family after five-year ordeal

Freed Canadian hostage Joshua Boyle accused his kidnappers of murdering his infant daughter and raping his wife during his family's years-long captivity by the Haqqani network, a Taliban-affiliated group operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Boyle levelled the accusations in a terse statement he read on his arrival in Toronto on Friday with his American wife, Caitlan Coleman, and three children, who were freed on Wednesday by Pakistani troops, based on a tip from US intelligence.
