イラクで日本人拘束

「クウェート企業の運転手７人をイラクで拉致した武装グループは、要求に対する反応がなければ２９日の現地時間午後７時（日本時間３０日午前零時）までに人質１人を殺害すると警告した。」の件：

Hisham al-Dulaymi told Reuters the kidnappers were not aware of the planned meeting when they set a deadline of 7.00 p.m. (1500 GMT) on Friday to kill one of the hostages if they received no response to their demands.

Dulaymi, speaking on Friday to Reuters, said he did not know if the deadline had been extended. The deadline passed without word from the kidnappers.

"I expect a positive outcome and that we will reach an agreement," Dulaymi said, adding one issue to be discussed would be financial compensation for families in Falluja who had lost relatives in U.S. air strikes on the rebellious city.

"The negotiations are going on and tomorrow we will meet the company regarding the issue of releasing the seven hostages, so I call on them (the kidnappers) to be patient and to give me a chance to reach an outcome that will serve both sides."

Dulaymi said the kidnappers' main demand was compensation for people in Falluja, a city west of Baghdad where he also lives. The kidnappers have previously said they wanted the Kuwaiti firm to pull out of Iraq.

He declined to say how much money the kidnappers wanted.

"Compensation is legitimate and they (kidnappers) are asking for this money for the sake of children and women so it's a humanitarian demand," he said.

Dulaymi is the head of Iraq's biggest tribal grouping and said he had acted as mediator in freeing other hostages in Iraq, including three Japanese who were released in April and two Russians who were freed the following month.
