Kidnapped in Iraq: two Poles among seven snatched from building site

Two Polish civilians were kidnapped near Baghdad, the Multinational Division’s press office in the occupied country has revealed. The information was confirmed by Jedynka Wrocławska, the construction company for whom the two men are employees. "The office director and project manager [who later escaped] were kidnapped. Two jeeps drove by our office in Iraq yesterday around noon. Two of our employees, three bodyguards and two Iraqi women were taken by unknown offenders," said Andrzej Polaczkiewicz, a Jedynka Wrocławska spokesperson. The men were working in the area to prepare a site for a house-building project. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1; onet.pl) A.K.
