Egyptian Hostage in Iraq Up Against Deadline
From CNN:
The abductors of an Egyptian hostage in Iraq have given his Saudi employer 48 hours to prove the company has left Iraq, the Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera reported Thursday.It's getting tough to identify the hostages and their countries and their fates without a scorecard. Sigh.
The hostage-takers sent a written statement to the network threatening to kill Muhammad al-Gharabawi if the company -- Faisal al-Nahait Transport Company -- does not meet the deadline. It was the second death threat against al-Gharabawi.
