Two Lebanese have been kidnapped along with a group of others that included women," a senior Iraqi Interior Ministry official said, adding that "an intelligence team has begun looking into it and trying to find them."Hat tip: firstbrokenangelThe same group claimed responsibility for kidnapping two French journalists last month.

Remember there are still LOTS of hostages we know nothing about or what happened to them. We also don't know anything about the few miscellaneous reports here and there of people being found dead - who they are, where they came from, what happened to them. They've gotten lost in the shuffle and there's been no resolution. It's even getting hard to keep track of them. What about the two Iraqi's that were kidnapped with the two Italian women (who want to go back to Iraq?) or other Iraqi's that have been taken hostage with others? No one seems to know and sure as hell, no one seems to care.
