We hereby condemn the writer of the article entitled "ISIS Targeted Scot To Force a Yes Vote In Referendum" as both inflamatory and highly offensive.

There is no reason for this article to have been published considering the incidiary response the writer would have known it would have recieved.

It is both offensive and purile. Using the horrible situation that this man finds himself in as some weapon to serve the writers own biased opinions is wrong and highly offensive to any person with a sense of decency.

We also publicly condemn the editor for allowing this to go to print.

We also publicly condemn the persons who would make such statements and attempt to link such a tragedy to the referendum for political gain.

We would at this time like to publicly send our best wishes to the family and hope for the safe return of David Haines.
