Iraqi Oil Ministry Official Kidnapped


Sunday July 16, 2006 6:16 PM

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Gunmen kidnapped a senior Iraqi Oil Ministry official Sunday.

Attackers stopped Adel Kazzaz, director of the North Oil Co., shortly after he left
the ministry, beat his bodyguards and whisked him away, ministry spokesman Assem
Jihad said.

The North Oil Co. runs Iraq's oil fields around the northern city of Kirkuk. The other
major fields are in the south and are run by a separate company. Both are government-
owned.

Kazzaz was in Baghdad to attend a meeting with ministry officials, Jihad said.
