| Fate of Allawi's kidnapped relatives unclear | |
| 2004-11-14 | |
Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said yesterday he had no news of the fate of three of his relatives, one of them pregnant, who were kidnapped this week and threatened with death. Speaking two days after the expiry of a purported ultimatum from their captors, the hawkish US-backed premier remained defiant. "We dont know, we dont know, but definitely I am not going to be deterred by this," he said. ÂÂ

| #6 Yup, this is the guy John Kerry insulted after Allawi spoke to the joint session of Congress. |

| #4 Somehow, I doubt Allawi is moved. Dozens of his relatives were killed during Saddam's reign. The latest kidnapping simply reminds him of the fate that awaits the rest of his relatives, should he lose. |

| #3 While my heart goes out to Allawi on a personal level, he still gets no particular sympathy from me. This is what Iraq's rebels desire. Namely, the death of Allawi's (or any other ruling personage's) family, now or later. Begin to fight it tooth and nail as of now, or watch your own kith and kin die a slow death. This is what has been the case for some decades now, nothing has changed save the names and places of where the victims get buried. |
