What you don't hear

There's a hostage situation in Afghanistan right now, with 23 South Koreans having been kidnapped, in hopes of freeing some Taliban militants.

The fate of one can be read here in the San Francisco Chronicle.

What it doesn't say is that the Koreans were Christians serving as missionaries, and could face death for their beliefs, as much as for their hostage value. Is there a reason the primary motive of the Koreans for being in such a dangerous country is completely omitted?
