RAMADI, May 10: Gunmen kidnapped the governor of Iraq’s Al Anbar province on Tuesday and demanded he tell members of his tribe to end fighting with Al Qaeda’s leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi, his brother said.

Raja Nawaf, who only became governor of Anbar a few days ago, was abducted along with four bodyguards on the road from the town of Qaim, near the Syrian border, to Ramadi, brother Hamed Nawaf said.—Reuters
