BAGHDAD, Dec 20 (Reuters) - A Jordanian working at his country's embassy in Baghdad was kidnapped when he left his home on Tuesday, Iraqi police sources said.Gunmen in three cars pulled up at the Jordanian's home in the south of the Iraqi capital and seized the man.
Police sources gave the man's name as Mahmoud Saedat.
Initial accounts suggested he was a driver but police sources later said he may have held a more senior post.
An official at the Jordanian embassy said diplomats had no information on the incident.
Several Arab diplomats and embassy workers have been kidnapped this year and some have been killed by Islamist militants, hampering already frosty relations between Iraq's U.S.-backed, Shi'ite-led government and Arab states.
Jordan's PM's car was at one of the hotels hosting a wedding party that got bombed.
