Hostages Relatives Threaten to Behead Their Boss
Relatives of two abducted Jordanian drivers threatened today to behead the hostages' boss and kill all of his staff if he does not immediately comply with the kidnappers’ demands and cease operations in Iraq. Fayez Saad al-Udwan and Ahmed Salama Hassan were kidnapped yesterday by a group calling itself the Mujahedeen Corps in Iraq. The group warned they would be killed within 72 hours unless their employer withdrew from Iraq and stopped co-operating with US forces there. The company provides construction and catering services to the US military in Iraq. Al-Udawan’s brother, Omar, said: “We told the firm’s executive director, Rami al-Ouweiss, that if he does not comply with the kidnappers’ demands today, his company and the lives of his employees will not be spared.” Hassan’s father, Salama, said: “We will chop off the head of the firm’s director if he doesn’t heed to our demands to completely cease his operation in Iraq.” The company said it would make an announcement related to its operations in Iraq later in the day.
If they so much as try it, I swear I'll kidnap them all and behead myself!
