Iraq group claims kidnapping of four Iranians: video

DUBAI (AFP) - An Iraqi insurgent group has claimed the kidnapping of four Iranians on a religious mission to the war-torn country, according to a video shown on the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya channel.

"Initial investigation confirmed they were dispatched on an official mission by the hawza (religious authority) in Qom," said the channel's anchorman Sunday reading a statement from the group calling itself the Saad bin Waqas Brigades.

The channel broadcast a clip from the video showing four men seated on the floor and holding against their chest what appeared to be identification cards under a large black banner bearing the group's name.
