Gunmen Kidnap Deputy Cabinet Minister, 19 Bodyguards in Iraq By VOA News 04 July 2006
Iraqi officials say gunmen have kidnapped the country's deputy minister of electricity and 19 of his bodyguards in Baghdad. They say the gunmen wore camouflage uniforms and intercepted a convoy in which Raad al-Harith and his bodyguards were traveling. The abduction is the second high-profile kidnapping in Baghdad in less than a week. On Saturday, a Sunni Arab legislator, Taiseer al-Mashhadani, and seven of her bodyguards were abducted. Sunni lawmakers have since boycotted parliament and demanded her release. Some Sunni lawmakers blame Shi'ite militias for the wave of kidnappings across Baghdad. Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters. This story originally ran at VOANews.com This story was originally posted here.
