Iraqi oil engineers kidnapped

BAGHDAD, May 5 (Reuters) - Gunmen kidnapped six engineers working for Iraq's state-owned Northern Oil Company on Friday, police said.

The six were returning to the oil city of Kirkuk 250 km (155 miles) north of Baghdad from a meeting at the Baiji refinery, Iraq's biggest, when they were stopped about 30 km (18 miles) from Kirkuk. No further details were available.
