Terrorists attacked an armed convoy in a Sunni area of Western Baghdad, shot dead ten bodyguards and kidnapped two foreign engineers.Bodyguards shot dead as kidnappers seize more foreigners - World - Times Online
The two engineers, one from Malawi, the other from Madagascar, had been working for the Iraqi mobile phone company, Iraqna, and were driving towards a damaged antenna in the rebel hotspot of Abu Ghraib when they were ambushed.
This is NOT good, to say the least. And it seems to presage a coming trend,especially if terrorist prisoners are released in exchange for Jill Carrol.
Certainly everyone wishes her safe return, but this is a bad precedent...perhaps started by the successful (and very lucrative) kidnappings of Susanne Osthoff and British `Palestinian Human Rights worker' Kate Burton and her parents.
