THE HAGUE (AFP) - Two Iraqi employees of two Dutch journalists based in the war-torn country have been kidnapped and killed, the Dutch Society of Journalists said.
"The two men, Iraqis, were abducted on Friday and found dead on Saturday," the group's secretary general Hans Verploeg told AFP.
"This constitutes a clear threat to the two journalists with whom they worked" as a driver and bodyguard, he added.
The two journalists are Ismael Zayer, editor-in-chief of the Baghdad independent Arabic-language Al-Sabah al-Jedid newspaper, and his wife Anneke van Ammelroy, who writes for the Dutch weekly De Groene Amsterdammer.
