‘Several’ Americans have been kidnapped by radical Muslims in Baghdad, where we’ve been told over and over again that the war in Iraq had ended. Reports are, most of those kidnapped and takenn hostage by Muslim terrorists were contractors of some sort. Anyone want to bet Iranians kidnapped these Americans so restock the hostage supply after giving up five in exchange for $100 billion and seven of their own terrorist? Very fishy. But it’s not like the media will follow through with investigating this story.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad confirmed “several” Americans had disappeared in Iraq on Sunday and the State Department said it was working with Iraqi authorities to locate them amid multiple reports of a kidnapping.
Al Arabiya first reported the news that three Americans were kidnapped. The U.S. government didn’t immediately confirm a kidnapping or the number of people involved.
“We are aware of reports that American citizens are missing in Iraq,” State Department spokesperson John Kirby told Fox News. “The safety and security of American citizens overseas is our highest priority. We are working with the full cooperation of the Iraqi authorities to locate and recover the individuals. Due to privacy considerations, I have nothing further.”
U.S. Embassy spokesman Scott Bolz said Sunday that “We are working in full cooperation with Iraqi authorities to locate the missing Americans.”An Iraqi police colonel told AFP on condition of anonymity that three Americans and an Iraqi translator were kidnapped in southern Baghdad by militiamen wearing military uniforms.
“We don’t know what their work is,” the colonel said of the Americans.
A spokesman for Baghdad’s Joint Operations Command told The Washington Post that the three citizens were Iraqis who had acquired U.S. citizenship.
