Egyptian captured, execution threatened

Another truck driver.


An unidentified group in Iraq has captured an Egyptian driver who was delivering petrol to the US military.

Aljazeera aired a video on Wednesday from the unnamed group, which said it represents the "legitimate Iraqi resistance", showing four armed men standing behind the seated hostage, named as Sayid Muhammad Sayid al-Arabawi.

The captors said they kidnapped Arabawi because he was collaborating with the US forces in Iraq. He was seized while driving a petrol truck from Saudi Arabia. The group has not made any demands.
