Saturday 24 July 2004, 17:38 Makka Time, 14:38 GMT
Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has called on Cairo not to give in to the demands from the captors of an
Egyptian diplomat in Baghdad.



"There is no way to give to terrorists what they want. It was regrettable that the Philippines (did so)," Allawi said on Saturday during a visit to Syria, referring to the Arroyo government's decision to withdraw its humanitarian force from Iraq to save the life of a Filipino hostage.

Muhammad Mamduh Hilmi was seized in Baghdad after prayers on Friday by a group calling itself 'Lion of God and Lion of Islam Brigades' in Iraq.

The capture was in response to comments by Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmad Nazif that Egypt is ready to offer its security experience to the interim Iraqi government, a videotape aired on Aljazeera channel said.

The Egyptian government has since clarified that it is "absolutely not considering" deploying troops in Iraq.


Hi it's me again.
what do u think. it's Egypt this time not usa or israel. what do the captores want. to leave their country in mess with no help even from their brothers in the arab countries. I am not fond of the conspiracy theory to say that they are not iraqies or that kind of stuff. meanwhile , I have no explanation for that act. For philipinees it was to take their 47 soldiers out .so what's going on here and who would get the benifit of it.
in the eighties and ninties there were a million egyptian man and woman working in Iraq starting from nuclear power experts to farmers. some of them still there. I wonder what's gonna happen to them.
