Foreign Aid Agencies Consider Iraq Exit

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Most international aid agencies in Iraq are considering pulling out following the kidnapping of two Italian humanitarian workers, a coordinator for non-governmental groups in Baghdad said Wednesday.
"We are reviewing the situation," Jean-Dominique Bunel told Reuters after cutting short a crisis meeting of aid officials in the Iraqi capital because of security fears.

He said they had not reached a collective decision. However, before the meeting, Bunel said he expected the remaining 50-odd representatives of the same number of agencies in Iraq to leave.

A group of gunmen seized Simona Torretta and Simona Pari, both 29, from their central Baghdad offices Tuesday in a brazen attack which alarmed foreigners already edgy over a wave of kidnappings

3. This must be some of that "Good news" we've been

hearing about. Funny, but "gospel" can be translated as "good news". That's what the American P-P-Propaganda Press should call it. "And now to Iraq and today's gospel..."
