Aid workers kidnapped in Iraq
Four aid workers, including two Canadians, have been kidnapped in Iraq, a Canadian official said tonight, while Iraqi police have arrested eight Sunni Arabs for allegedly plotting to assassinate the investigating judge in the case against Saddam Hussein.
Dan McTeague, parliamentary secretary for Canadians abroad, said the incident happened yesterday, but refused to name the organisation the two Canadians worked for or the location where they were kidnapped.
