Head of Iraq’s North Oil Co. Kidnapped

(Reuters) – The head of Iraq’s North Oil Company, Adel Qazaz, was kidnapped in Baghdad on Sunday, an Oil Ministry official said.

Travelling in a plain, unofficial car to avoid attention, Qazaz was being driven back to the northern oil capital of Kirkuk following a meeting at the Oil Ministry when gunmen in two cars forced his vehicle to stop in northern Baghdad.
