US engineer kidnapped in Baghdad

Thursday 06 May 2004, 18:32 Makka Time, 15:32 GMT

An Arab television station has aired what it said was a videotape showing an American engineer working for the Pentagon held hostage in Iraq.

Dubai-based al-Arabiya network said it received the tape from a group calling itself the Islamic Rage Battalion, which said it had kidnapped the man on 3 May.

He was shown on Thursday blindfolded with a chequered Arab scarf and wearing a jacket.

"My name is Aban Elias from Denver, Colorado," the captive was quoted as saying.

"I am a civil engineer working in Baghdad ... and we are working with the Pentagon ... I was kidnapped and I call upon Muslim organisations to intervene to release me."

The network said a copy of the man's US passport showed he had been born in Iraq. Al-Arabiya said the kidnappers had not made any demands.

Dozens of Westerners have been kidnapped in Iraq recently. Some have been released and others killed by their captors.
