![]() Also on Monday, the group led by al-Qaida's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, posted on a website pictures of identity papers apparently belonging to one of the two Algerian diplomats kidnapped in Iraq. A membership card of the Iraqi Hunting Club bearing the name of Ali Belaroussi written in Arabic was shown on a website. The document's authenticity could not be verified. Armed men seized Algeria's charge d'affaires, Belaroussi, and his colleague Ezzedin Ben Kadi as they were leaving their embassy by car last week. Al-Zarqawi loyalists claimed responsibility for the kidnappings in an internet statement on Saturday. |
