Iraqi group kidnaps four Iranians

The Telegraph:

AN Iraqi insurgent group has kidnapped four Iranians north of Baghdad, who it said were on a mission on behalf of a leading Shiite body in Iran, Al Arabiya satellite television reported overnight.

A video issued by the little-known Saad bin Abi Waqqas Brigades showed four men holding up their identity papers as they sat in front of the group's black flag. The television quoted the group as saying the four had said they were on a mission from the seminary in the city of Qom, a main Shiite Muslim clerical centre in Iran.
