After a decade in Canada, Zaid Meerwali returned to his native Baghdad six months ago to help rebuild his tattered country. Yesterday the Prime Minister's Office announced the Canadian is dead, the latest victim of Iraq's wave of kidnappings.

(Zaid Meerwali's brother)said that whenever a foreign professional arrives in Iraq, kidnappers are notified through a network of informers placed at airports, borders and telephone companies.

"Anybody come, they call those people in these places. They call the people in the intelligence, so they follow him until the right time and they kidnap him."

More than 200 foreigners have been abducted in recent months. Many are dead or missing.
