Italian Hostages

Anne Aldridge writes from Italy:


Here for your readers is the site of the Italian pacifist organization whose two volunteers, Simona and Simona, were kidnaped yesterday. It has some English pages.

This is an opportunity for Al Jazira, Al arabiya or any other media to show their power to move Iraqi public opinion. These are two attractive young women that apparently have made a lot of friends in Baghdad; according to Radio Popolare this morning, they adored Baghdad: its ancient culture (Italians truly relate to people who appreciate ancient history) and sincere hospitality.
