Romanians seek man who guided hostage journalists

A court in the Romanian capital Bucharest has issued an arrest warrant on terrorism charges for an Iraqi-American citizen who translated for three Romanian journalists who were held hostage in Iraq for nearly two months.

Prosecutors charged Mohammed Monaf in absentia, alongside his Syrian-born business partner in Romania, Omar Hayssam, on terrorism charges in a closed-court session. No details on the charges were immediately available.
