BEIRUT, Lebanon — Gunmen in Iraq have abducted a 7-year-old Lebanese boy and are demanding $150,000 for his release, Lebanon's official news agency reported Sunday.
The boy, identified as Mohammed Hamad Search, was kidnapped two days ago on his way home from school in the Diyala province east of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, the state-run National News Agency said. The boy's father, Abdel-Ghani Hamad, has lived in Iraq for 30 years. The Lebanese Embassy in Baghdad was aware of the ransom demand and the Lebanese charge d'affaires in Iraq, Hassan Hijazi, was trying to secure the child's release, the report said.
Foreign Ministry officials could not be reached Sunday. Insurgents in Iraq have kidnapped more than 150 foreigners. Most have been kidnapped for ransom and freed unharmed, but at least 30 — including several Americans — have been killed in a violent campaign to drive out coalition forces and hamper reconstruction efforts. Three other Lebanese are believed to be held hostage in Iraq. One other Lebanese — 26-year-old construction worker Hussein Ali Alyan — was killed. His body was found June 12.

Oh, Lord. Are we now going to see the Islamonazis behead a child??
ANIMALS!!!!!
If these guys keep it up, maybe Muslim world will see what's going on and be fed up with it. I know a lot of Muslims in the Middle East support this stuff, but if it happens to them and people they know, maybe they can change the error of their ways. But, then again, most people never change.
No, we won't, the MSM won't show it to us. Well, actually, Michael Savage will probably put it on his website.
Onward and upward with the violence. They're running out of options.
It was just a matter of time. I was waiting for an entire group of children to be abducted and shown on Al Jazeera crying for their mothers while the masked monsters stood behind them wielding swords. Beslan showed them the emotion involved with innocents - true innocents.
The more sympathetic the victim, the more powerful Kerry's weapon is.
Kidnappings in the islamic world such as this have been going on for centuries. This is nothing new. Where was the media before?
Ping.
What is there to say?
Schools here were warned.
There is no end to this, it is going to mean a full war.
Just when I thought they couldn't go any lower. What's next: infants?
They are animals.
**When John Kerry started using the beheadings in campaign ads it absolutely instructed the terrorists that they were using a winning tactic and set the stage for using the beheading weapon against the US for years and wars to come.**
John Fn Kerry is doing today what he did in 1970-71. He is aiding and abetting an enemy.
I vote we do a prisoner swap -- Kerry for the kid.
We were not involved before. Now we are in the last days of a national election. We will hear alot about this kidnapping as soon as the MSM can figure out who it will either help or hurt the most.
The Islamabastards are getting desperate. First the CARE worker and now a child? I don't care if this child is a muslim or a Christian. I will pray for him. I will pray that either the Iraqi Army or the United States Army finds him, saves him and totally gives a good ass kickin' to his captors.
Infants holding puppies and kittens.
If the wrath of god is coming...it may be soon.
Perhaps Allawi could benefit from the advice of Alberto Fujimori.
