Iraq's al Qaeda group posted Web pictures of identification cards of Egypt's top envoy to Iraq on Wednesday as proof it had kidnapped the Arab diplomat. The pictures, posted on an Islamist Web site, included Ihab el-Sherif's driving license, foreign ministry and health insurance cards. The cards bore the name, title and passport-sized pictures of the envoy. "These are the identification cards of the ambassador of tyrants," the group, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said in a statement signed by its spokesman. It gave no further details.The Egyptian mission chief, who was expected to become the first Arab ambassador in Baghdad since the fall of Saddam Hussein, was snatched by gunmen off a Baghdad street late on Saturday. Diplomats have speculated that Sherif was kidnapped by insurgents to send a political message to Arab countries not to deepen their ties to the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad.
