South Korean captive 'still alive'
A South Korean man captured in Iraq is still alive, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
In a videotape broadcast by the Arab satellite television station Al-Jazeera, the kidnappers set a deadline of 24 hours from sunset Sunday for the South Korean government to withdraw its troops or they would “send you the head of this Korean, and we will follow it with the heads of your other soldiers”.
