BAGHDAD, Dec 14: Gunmen in camouflage uniforms kidnapped about 30 Iraqis in Baghdad on Thursday in a brazen daylight attack that underlined a call by a top US general for action to take back the streets from sectarian death squads.

“We have to change the dynamics that are going on in Baghdad. There is a lot of sectarian murder in Baghdad,” Lt-Gen Raymond Odierno said.
