Man who spent three months captured by the Taliban reveals how his son's name saved his life

Unilad.com

Sean Langan recounts being held by the Taliban for 12 weeks after his 2008 kidnapping near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
He refused to reveal his children's names until the captors threatened to shoot him, then revealed them as Luke and Gabriel.
According to Langan, naming his eldest Luke and youngest Gabriel helped change the captors' attitude toward him.
Langan says the name Gabriel is one of the holiest in Islam and helped secure his protection.
Langan credits the shift in captors’ behavior to the moment the family realized he was willing to die rather than reveal his children’s names.
