(URGENT) American and European Hostages Held Hostage: Company Head
BAGHDAD, June 21 (Yonhap) -- European journalists and American workers are being held hostage along with the South Korean kidnap victim by an armed Arab insurgent group, the head of a South Korean trade company here said Monday.
In a telephone interview with the Yonhap News Agency, Kim Choon-ho, head of Gana General Trading Co., at which the South Korean kidnap victim Kim Sun-il has been working, said that there were some 10 other foreign figures being held hostage by the insurgent group.
The South Korean president of the Iraq-based foodstuff supplier claimed that some European journalists and American employees of a U.S.-based security firm were being held hostage along with his employee.
I hope our government --- or if not ours then a tougher one --- that all those hostages will be released unharmed or one by one the mosques and whatever else muslims might worship will be blown to smithereens.
