New Delhi: A Canadian journalist who was kidnapped, gang raped and even reportedly gave birth to a child while being held captive by Somali jihadists for 15 months has released a book about her ordeal.
Amanda Lindhout was 24 when she left her job as a cocktail waitress in 2008 seeking an adventure.
Despite being an inexperienced journalist, she decided to head to Afghanistan, Iran and Somalia with her 36-year-old ex-boyfriend, Australian photographer Nigel Brennan, in the hope of finding fame as a foreign correspondent.
The pair had been in Somalia for only three days when they were kidnapped by Somali jihadists.
