Islamic Scholars Call For Hostage Release
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesAljazeera via Interested-Participant
The Islamic Scholars Association in Iraq is expressing optimism that the Chinese workers kidnapped
earlier this week will be released. According to Sheikh Harith Al
Dhari, the association had "issued an announcement calling on all the
kidnapping powers to release all the kidnapped for the occasion of Eid
Adhha 'Feast of Sacrifice', whether they (the hostages) are Iraqis or
not."
(...) Al Dhari added that he "appreciated the stand taken by the Chinese people" who are friends and supporters of the Iraqi people.
Since this optimistic report comes from Aljazeera - the release of the hostages is likely to occur.
