In Iraq, an Italian journalist who disappeared last week has reportedly been executed. Enzo Baldoni was shown yesterday in video footage broadcast on Al-Jazeera being held by a group calling itself “The Islamic Army in Iraq.” The group had said they could not guarantee Baldoni’s safety unless Italy announced plan to withdraw its troops from Iraq. Italian President Silvio Berlusconi condemned the killing but said he would not consider withdrawing Italian troops.
