U.S. marine taken hostage, Al-Jazeera says |
|
Associated Press
Baghdad — Al-Jazeera television broadcast a videotape Sunday showing what it said was a U.S. marine of Pakistani origin held hostage in Iraq. There was no comment from the U.S. military but the tape showed a card with the man's name and marked “active duty” marine.
Al-Jazeera said the group claimed it infiltrated one of the camps and lured the man outside where he was abducted. The station said the group demanded the release of all Iraqis “in occupation jails” or the man will be killed.
The group identified itself as Islamic Response, the security wing of the 1920 Revolution Brigades referring to the uprising against the British after the Second World War.
