10 Electronics Workers Kidnapped in Iraq
2004-09-30
30 September 2004

An Iraqi militant group says it's kidnapped 10 people who work for an electronics firm, including two Indonesian women.

It says the group also includes six Iraqis and two Lebanese nationals.

Arab television network Al Jazeera aired a video tape from the group calling itself "Islamic Army in Iraq, the western leadership" showing three captive men and two women.

About 30 foreign hostages have been killed in Iraq since April.
