In Iraq, U.S. and Iraqi forces are carrying out a series of raids around Baghdad in an effort to find five British citizens abducted from a government building. Forty heavily armed men in police uniforms seized the five Tuesday in broad daylight from an office in the Finance Ministry. The kidnap victims were initially reported to be German citizens. But Britain now says the four are British security contractors, while the fifth is a British employee of the U.S. consulting firm BearingPoint.
