Egyptian envoy abducted in Iraq
An armed group in Iraq has kidnapped an Egyptian diplomat in Baghdad, the Egyptian embassy in the capital says.
Arab Al-Jazeera TV named the diplomat as Mohamed Mamdouh Qutb and said he had been abducted following comments by Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif.
Mr Nazif had said Egypt was ready to offer its security experience to the interim Iraqi government.
The news came as the kidnappers of seven foreign hostages in Iraq issued a new deadline to their Kuwaiti employer.
