20 Iranian pilgrims 'kidnapped' - in Iraq

A group of 20 Iranian pilgrims was kidnapped in Iraq by a gang of armed assailants who opened fire to halt their convoy, official news agency, Irna, reported on Monday.

However, the student news, Isna, quoted a local Iranian official based near the border as well as an Iran-based representative of Iraq's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) as denying the report.

The Irna report, datelined Baghdad, said the incident took place late on Sunday, about 30km inside Iraq from the Iranian border crossing of Khosravi. Irna said the attackers also took the pilgrims' vehicles.

1. How much are the crusaders paying for "seized foreign terrorists?"

Populating GTMO only cost $50 a head. Do Kurds work cheaper than Pakistan ISI serfs?
