BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The teenage daughter of an Iraqi official was kidnapped Friday night as she walked home from her math tutor's house in eastern Baghdad, a police official said.

The kidnappers sent Khadim Yousef Al-Hulfi a text message from his 16-year-old daughter's cell phone, saying, "We have fulfilled our promise to you. We have your daughter."

Al-Hulfi is the assistant to the secretary-general of the Iraqi Council of Ministers.

The police official said the kidnappers had not yet made any demands. The girl was abducted around 7 p.m. (11 a.m. ET) in al-Zayoune, a middle-class neighborhood in the Iraqi capital.

3. "Walking home from her math tutor's house"?

Her father is on a most wanted list of the insurgents!

Why wasn't she under escort?
Didn't he like her....or has her father been watching too much "good news" on Fox?

5. That certainly caught my attention.

From what I have read, it is not safe to walk around Baghdad, no matter who you are.
