More Italians kidnapped
A few hours ago (5pm Baghdad time) 20 armed men, claiming to be government agents, kidnapped two Italian aid workers from their Baghdad offices along with two Iraqi collegues (Raad Ali Aziz and Mahnaz Bassam). Simona Pari and Simona Torretta were working for the charity Un Ponte Per Baghdad (Bridges to Baghdad) which has beening working in Iraq since 1991, inititally against sanctions. These wonderful ladies were friends of Ghareeb and Enzo who were murdered a few weeks ago. I have not met either of them but know them to be good people who are supporting the Iraqi people. Please pray for their safety.
