Description: "05/03/2004: Canadian authorities said a third Canadian citizen had been kidnapped in Iraq. A senior foreign ministry official said Naji al-Kuwaiti, who holds Iraqi and Canadian citizenship, had been working as an exporter-importer when he was abducted in Baghdad last week. “We demand that, as a Canadian citizen, he be released. It is unacceptable that any citizen or any foreign individual would simply be taken, without any explanation,” the official said. Officials are still trying to free Mohammed Rifat, 41, who disappeared on 04/08/2004."
