Al-Aribiya is reporting that three Americans have been kidnapped by militia in Baghdad.

Via The Independent:

According to Arab news channel Al-Arabiya, well-informed sources in Baghdad have confirmed that the kidnapping took place, although the story is yet to be verified.

The identities of the kidnapped Americans or the militias have not yet been confirmed.

It seems that Iran has revalidated a long-standing business model used in that part of the world for a few thousand years: kidnap for ransom.

It seems much more than a coincidence that after the United States gave up seven prisoners doing time for supplying Iran with prohibited items, along with foregoing prosecution on fourteen additional criminals in exchange for four Americans (leaving two still in Iranian custody) and agreeing to pay Iran $1.7 billion:

He will then claim credit for their release ..and follow that act up by bad mouthing the DEAL that was in fact made for the release.

Count on it

he’s already uses this script once this week incase you MISSED it

Trump got Obama to make this deal.

[ifinnegan]

“I’ll say Trump is going to once again threaten Iran that if these hostages aren’t released before Trump is sworn in there is going to be hell to pay.”

Do you know where Baghdad is?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Iran demonstrated to the rest of the Middle East that taking hostages will get big bucks in ransom.

[I want the USA back]

That’s not ransom. That’s submission money. The more you submit to those subhumans the more they want.

[davius]

send over James Taylor.

That's utter nonsense. This is clearly a job for Alanis Morissette.

[dfwgator]

She’s Canadian.

[boycott]

Thank you. I fully agree.

[Snickering Hound]

Not to worry, John Kerry has been practicing some Cat Stevens that should have them freed soon.

Source please.

[BeadCounter]

Bad story if true, prayers for those abducted. This happens when kidnappers are given into which Israel never does someone once told me.

[wbarmy]

Kerry does not care a whit. If they had been intelligent and went to college, they would not have had to serve over there. It is their own fault. (sarc)

[CincyRichieRich]

Unexpected!

Perhaps “Bolts” can send Neil Young...perhaps Sean Penn? Danny Glover? They can negotiate.

[Blue Jays]

These three Americans are likely similar to the five other American hostages we failed to get released from next-door-neighbor Iran despite giving them $150B.
It is surprising the Iraqi kidnappers did not request MUCH more. What a bargain!

[hal ogen]

“Mad” like psychopathically disturbed. What a fraud and loser.

I hear he’s miffed. Beside himself, even!
