Allawi urges Egypt to ignore kidnappers demands
Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi urged Egypt to stand firm against militants demanding it abandon security aid to Iraq. He spoke in Damascus after gunmen dressed as police abducted Mohammad Mamdouh Helmi Qutb, the third ranking Egyptian diplomat, and Raad Adnan, head of Al Mansour Contracting Co., in Baghdad. The militants cited Egypt’s troop plans as a motive while Egypt seeks mercy and the release of both captives.
