10 Workers Of U.S. Firm Kidnapped In Iraq

<snip>

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraqi insurgents have released a video threatening to kill 10 Iraqis working for an American company if the firm doesn't leave the country.

On the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News, a masked man claims to represent three Iraqi militant groups, and threatens to kill the employees of the Washington-based Sandi Group, and anyone who cooperates with it.

The tape also showed at least four insurgents with their faces covered by traditional Arab head scarves and posing with machine guns. They appear to be holding nine blindfolded hostages. The captives are lined up against a stone wall and a 10th is lying in a bed, apparently wounded.

Sandi Group employs 7,000 people in Iraq.
