Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is appealing to Middle Eastern nations for help in locating a Brazilian engineer abducted in northern Iraq.

...

British-based Arab newspaper Asharq al Awsat sent Brazilian media outlet O Globo a memo saying an appeal for the engineer's release from Brazilian soccer stars would go a long way with his captors.

According to the editor of the Aab paper, the majority of the militants in Iraq are young and fans of Brazilian soccer players like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and of course legendary soccer great Pele.>>

Thanks God they are not fans of Germany!!! Those two goals Ronaldo scored in the last word cup would have surely mean the Brazilian head woul be cut!!!
