Gunmen kidnap Italian journalist in Baghdad
Giuliana Sgrena, a journalist with communist Rome newspaper Il Manifesto, was snatched from the street as she conducted interviews near Baghdad University. Gunmen pulled up alongside her vehicle, forced her driver and an Iraqi journalist out at gunpoint and drove off with Ms Sgrena, police sources said.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said Italy was already working to negotiate her release and he was going to meet the interior and defence ministers later.
