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.

So right you are.
I should have read more than the first three words of the headline.
No prob.
It's amazing how quickly they buckle when you turn the tables on them.
