A Sudanese diplomat and five other Sudanese were kidnapped Friday as they left prayers at a mosque, Sudan's Foreign Ministry said Friday, with one of those kidnapped able to briefly telephone the country's mission after he was taken. Sudanese Foreign Ministry spokesman Jamal Mohammad Ibrahim said that among the six kidnap victims were four employees at the country's diplomatic mission in Baghdad, including one diplomat, identified as a second secretary, Abdel-Moneim Mohammad Tom. One employee managed to call the Sudanese mission briefly on his cell phone immediately after the kidnapping and talk to the charge d'affaires. But so far, there has been no contact between the kidnappers and the Sudanese government, Ibrahim said in a telephone call to The Associated Press in Cairo. "We don't know who they are or what their demands are," the spokesman said. |
