Joshua Boyle reunited with Smiths Falls family after kidnapping ordeal BY MICHELLE SHEPHARD
mshephard@thestar.ca
Editor’s note: The following article is courtesy of The Toronto Star. After five years of communicating with his family only through hostage videos and carefully written letters, Joshua Boyle spoke freely to his parents from a guest house in Pakistan. They talked of the passports his young family needed, the flights they could take and their long-awaited reunion. The couple and their children flew out of Pakistan with Canadian officials on a commercial flight early Friday. “My family is obviously psychologically and physically shattered by the betrayals and the criminality of what has happened over the past five years,” Boyle told the Star during a call from Islamabad to his parents, Patrick and Linda. It was a moment of calm for the Boyles — being able to hear their son’s voice, to listen to him laugh and at one point nearly cry — in what had been an emotional day marked by relief, anxiety and anticipation. “But we’re looking forward to a new lease on life, to use an overused idiom, and restarting and being able to build a sanctuary for our children and our family in North America,” Boyle told us as we sat listening around the dining room table. Then he added, with a laugh: “I have discovered there is little that cannot be overcome by enough Sufi patience, Irish irreverence and Canadian sanctimony.”

In their Smiths Falls home, Patrick Boyle, left, his wife Linda and security consultant Andy Ellis talk to Canadian and U.S. officials about the release of their son, Joshua Boyle, his wife, Caitlan Coleman, and their three children. The couple had been held hostage for five years by the Taliban-linked Haqqani network. Boyle, 34, his American wife, Caitlan Coleman, 31, and their children were freed last Wednesday after a dramatic rescue by the Pakistani Army, based on intelligence provided by the U.S.
