Gunmen kidnap 42 Iraqi students in Mosul
AQI seems to have slept through their Dale Carnegie course.Seems like university students are unarmed and vulnerable the world over. Maybe the first semester should be taught by drill instructors instead of professors? MOSUL, Iraq (AFP) Gunmen on Sunday kidnapped 42 university students near Iraq's northern city of Mosul. Local army commander Brigadier General Khalid Abdul Sattar said the gunmen ambushed two buses which were ferrying students to Mosul from their homes in Shurkat, 70 kilometres (40 miles) south of Iraq's main northern city. "Unidentified gunmen kidnapped 42 students of Mosul University. They were ambushed and kidnapped in an area called Jorum on a highway near Mosul," said Sattar, spokesman for Mosul's security plan. "One of the two buses managed to escape although the gunmen fired at it and wounded three students. The kidnappers later fled after taking control of the other bus carrying 42 students," he told AFP.
