Dera Sirs and Madams,
Why doesn't CNN talk about the three Romanians who have been kidnapped more than two weeks ago and are threatened to be killed? Any particular reason, dear sirs and madams?
Romania was the third country that joined US in the fight for Iraq's freedom and against terrorism. Any life is important. They are three who could have been you. They are young and courageous and deserve at list one line from you whom I have been watching for about 16 years in this country.
Watching to see you at least mention their heroic last days. Please scroll down and read the following brief news.
Sincerely,
Prof. Smaranda Livescu
Acting President
Romanian World Council, Inc.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Insurgents gave Romania four days to withdraw its
troops from Iraq in order to save the lives of three Romanian
journalists kidnapped last month, Al Jazeera television reported on
Friday.
"They gave the Romanian government four days from the date of the
videotape to withdraw its forces from Iraq or they would kill them,"
the Arabic broadcaster said.
It broadcast a new video it had received, showing the two men and a
woman who were abducted on March 28 in Baghdad.
"She called on the Romanian people to protest in order to pressure
the Romanian government," Al Jazeera said.
The video separately showed a fourth hostage, Mohamad Munaf, the
translator for the journalists, who has U.S., Romanian and Iraqi
citizenship, as two men pointed guns at his head.
The channel said Munaf called on President Bush to intervene to
ensure his release.
The video showed the hostage-takers' name as the previously unheard-
of "Squadrons of Mu'adh bin Jebel," in reference to a figure from
early Islamic history.
Romania has 800 troops with the U.S.-led force in Iraq and remains
committed despite recent opinion polls showing 55 percent of
Romanians want the troops to come home.
Analysts have said if the kidnappers demand a withdrawal, public
pressure on the government will increase.
More than 150 foreigners have been seized in Iraq over the past year.
Most were freed after negotiations or ransom but about a third were
killed. Many more Iraqis have been abducted.
