Koizumi denounces abductions amid hostage crisis in Iraq
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi condemned the abductions and warned of a deepening crisis as Iraq requests a halt to the mission. Thousands gathered near the official residence for candlelight vigils for hostages Noriaki Imai and Nahoko Takato, and three other civilians, while video footage shows masked captors threatening the captives. Corroborating voices from relatives express fear as authorities press for the captors to release hostages unharmed.
