Japanese held hostage in Iraq
April 8, 2004 - 09:15 AM

Hostages seized across Iraq
By staff writers and wires
April 8, 2004

THREE Japanese hostages have been taken in Iraq by militia who are threatening to kill them within three days unless the Japanese government pulls its troops out.
Footage of the civilian trio, which includes a woman, was aired by the Al-Jazeera satellite television channel. They were screaming in anguish and fearing for their lives as knives were held to their throats.

They were also jostled with automatic weapons.

Their captors have called themselves the "Mujahedeen Brigades", a previously unknown group.

The Qatar-based television also aired vision of the trio's passports, adding that an accompanying statement had given Tokyo three days to meet its demands.
