Sources: 3 kidnapped from Iraqi Finance Ministry building

BAGHDAD (CNN) — Three people were kidnapped on Tuesday from an Iraqi Finance Ministry building on Palestine Street in north-central Baghdad, interior and finance ministry sources said.

There are conflicting reports about the nationalities of the kidnapped. The British Foreign Office is urgently checking into reports that Britons were among those kidnapped.

Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf, Interior Ministry spokesman, said the incident took place on Palestine Street around 11:55 a.m. He said at least 19 cars drove up to the location, stormed the building and fled with abductees. (Posted 8:36 a.m.)
