Briton snatched in Baghdad Sep 16 2004 A Briton and two Americans have been kidnapped in Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said. The victims, thought to be civilians, were snatched by gunmen in a dawn raid on the building they were staying in, said ministry spokesman Colonel Adnan Abdel-Rahman. There was no immediate information about their identities. The incident, the latest in a series of kidnappings involving foreigners in Iraq, took place in the al-Mansour district of the city. No shots were fired as the gunmen stormed the building and bundled their targets into a van. A police official who asked that his name not be used said a car was missing from the house. He said the trio were apparently in the garden when the attack took place and that there was no sign of any fighting. The al-Mansour district in western Baghdad is regarded as relatively safe. Many foreign nationals live in the area and a number of foreign contractors including security firms are based there. The hostages are the latest victims of an upsurge in kidnappings of foreigners in Iraq by insurgents. icwales.icnetwork.co.uk
