| Four Russian Embassy employees were released hours after being seized by gunmen in an attack in western Baghdad that left one of their colleagues dead, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Sunday. The Russians were released at 7 p.m. Saturday after Interior Ministry commandos raided the hideout of the kidnappers in the Jadriya neighborhood in southeastern Baghdad, ministry official Lt. Colonel Falah al-Mohamedawi said Sunday. He said the kidnappers were arrested. The Russian Embassy in Baghdad said it could not immediately deny or confirm the report. |
