| RFE/Iraq: Kidnappers Preying On Wealthy Locals, Not Just Foreigners |
| 2004-06-24 |
| EFL- just the summary the article is good. Dozens of foreigners have been taken hostage in Iraq over the past few months. Most have been freed. Many are still missing, and at least seven have been killed, including a South Korean who was beheaded by Islamic militants this week. But foreigners are not the only targets of kidnappers in Iraq. Wealthy Iraqis are also becoming victims, and many are paying thousands of dollars in ransom to regain their freedom. |
