Seoul is urging businesses in Iraq to pull its civilian workers out of the conflict-ravaged nation as South Korea anxiously awaits news of the fate of a hostage held by militants and threatened with beheading.
The deadline imposed for South Korea to cancel plans to send 3,000 additional troops to Iraq has now passed, but no word has yet been heard on whether the captors of 33-year-old Kim Sun-il have carried out their threats.
In a video broadcast Sunday on Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera, Kim cries in English, "Please get out of here. I don't want to die ... Your life is important, but my life is important."
