BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Gunmen in camouflaged uniforms kidnapped Iraq's deputy electricity minister along with 11 of his bodyguards in eastern Baghdad on Tuesday, security officials said.
The gunmen stopped Raed al-Hares' convoy in the Shiite neighborhood of Talbiya, then forced the official and his bodyguards into their vehicles, said police Lt. Ahmed Qassim.
The kidnapping occurred three days after gunmen seized Sunni female legislator Tayseer al-Mashhadani in a Shiite area of east Baghdad. She and seven bodyguards are still missing.

Well, now that North Korea tested SEVEN missiles yesterday (7/4, I wonder if they waited for that day for a purpose?), maybe those liberals on the West Coast will finally realize WE NEED A STRONG DEFENSE and an ANTI MISSLE program. I live in S. Fla. doubt N. korea will have anything to threaten me in my lifetime, but I wouldnt feel so secure if I lived in San Francisco or Seattle. jdn
