| Islamic Army in Iraq threatens Italian nationals: website |
| 2004-10-15 |
| The Islamic Army in Iraq, a militant group which kidnapped and executed an Italian journalist, threatened to target all Italian nationals in Iraq unless Rome withdraws its troops from the country, according to a message posted on the group's website. "We warn the Italian people and their government to withdraw their troops and businesses from Iraq," said the statement, posted alongside photographs of Enzo Baldoni, the journalist who was shot dead by his captors in August. "Any soldier, any investor, business owner or civil servant will suffer the same fate" as Baldoni, the group said in a "statement to the Italian people" posted on the site http://happynow.jeeran.com/b3htm. |

| #2 Islamic Army in Iraq has an italian speaking jihadi in their ranks. Only italian speaking that is. That's what he recognizes. Therefore, that narrows down their choice of kidnapees. |

| #1 So how are they going to do this: ask each potential kidnapee his/her nationality, then throw back those not on today's list? |
