Damnit, again! Non-military foreigners should keep a REALLY low-profile in Iraq now.

ABU GHRAIB, Iraq (*******) - Iraqi insurgents said they had seized four Italians and two Americans on the western outskirts of Baghdad on Friday.



A ******* journalist saw two captive foreigners, said by the insurgents to be Italians, in a mosque in a village in the Abu Ghraib district. One was wounded in the shoulder. Both were weeping.


U.S. soldiers in a tank in the area near the village of al-Dhahab al-Abyad said they knew some Americans had been taken hostage, but had no details.


"That's why we are sealing off the road," said one soldier.


Insurgents told ******* they had captured four Italians traveling in a four-wheel-drive vehicle with weapons in it. They said they had seized the Americans in a separate attack.


They took the journalist to a mosque, surrounded by about 40 fighters with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles, where they said all the hostages had been taken.


The two foreigners could be seen from a distance, but the fighters did not allow them to be filmed.
