Desi Cartman Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 NEW DELHI: Around 40 Indians working on projects near the Iraqi city of Mosul were kidnapped by suspected ISIS militants when they were being evacuated from the area ravaged by the war between the Shia-dominated government in Baghdad and Sunni jihadis. The 40 Indians were waylaid when they were being evacuated from the war zone because of fear for their safety in view of the spiralling civil war. Mosul, the heart of the oil-rich region dominated by ethnic Kurds, was captured by ISIS raiders before being retaken by the 'peshmargas', the Kurd militia. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/40-Indians-kidnapped-in-Iraqs-Mosul-involvement-of-ISIS-rebels-suspected/articleshow/36728692.cms
veer Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Damn.. they were just talking about this yesterday on NDTV about 210 Indians in Iraq.. but there is not plan to get them out for obvious reasons. This will be a nightmare if it's true. NDTV not showing this news.
Desi Cartman Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 They dont even know whom to negotiate/speak with as the Govt doesnt know who kidnapped these people.
Texan Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 The 40 Indians are construction workers. There are around 46 Indian nurses in Tikrit, the hometown of late Saddam Hussein. Some 14 of the nurses want to leave while others are still willing to hang on, said sources Why would anybody want to risk their lives and hang on there???? :hmmmm2:
