Chinese kidnapped?
 An Iraqi group calling itself The Islamic Resistance Group in Iraq - al-Numan Brigades has posted a videotape on its website showing what it called eight Chinese captives and alleging that they were working with US forces in Iraq. A spokesman for the captors threatened to kill the eight Chinese within 48 hours unless China clarifies its role in Iraq. Also Tuesday, one of interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's candidates in the 30 January elections was killed in the southern city of Basra, officials in Baghdad and Basra said. The officials, who did not give the name of the victim, said he was killed on Tuesday morning. Fighters trying to derail Iraq's election have repeatedly attacked government officials and election workers. Posted by: Fred 2005-01-19 |
