(ii) the site of kidnapping last month: "Quetta, the capital of Balochistan"
Balochistan, Pakistan

, where a map showing "Indus Valley civilization" marks "Quetta" if the map is enlarged A LOT (because it is partially overlapped with an ancient site indicated as a red square). Quetta is in a mountainous area, to the west of Indus River.
(iii) I tried, but fail to find in the Web the video clip or a photo of the bodies.
