Kidnappers threaten to kill German hostages

Al-Arabiya TV today aired footage of two German hostages surrounded by their kidnappers who threatened to kill them unless the German government doesn’t meet their demands.

The station’s broadcaster said the kidnappers, identified as Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade, warned the German government that it was the “last chance” to comply with their demands or they will kill hostages Thomas Nitschke and Rene Braeunlich, who were abducted on January 24 in Beiji, north of Baghdad.
