<font color=brown>You were asking about abductions in Iraq? Yeah, nothing's changed since 28 June. In fact, its getting worse......here's the latest:<font color=black> Abductions surge in Iraq By Dan Murphy BAGHDAD – In the past week, car bombings and other insurgent attacks against US and Iraqi forces have returned to pre-June 28 handover levels. But kidnapping, too, is emerging as one of the most effective weapons for eroding confidence in the interim Iraqi government and slowing reconstruction. The low-cost and low-risk tactic is being used to barter lives for political goals. Such blackmail has already driven the Philippines and a number of private contractors, including Russian and Turkish firms, from the country. It is also driving up security and insurance costs for companies doing everything from fixing Iraq's sewers to providing mail service to US troops, leaving far less money for the infra- structure improvements that Iraq so desperately needs. csmonitor.com
