Perhaps we need Israeli commando like troops to conduct rescue operations in such cases. Right now, the pertinent question is whether our govt be able to save the rest of stranded Indian citizens.

Iraq is passing through a precarious period of non-governance. How ever our government has sent a former ambassador to Iraq, to try and secure the release of the workers, although the government did not know who their abductors were or where they were being held.

In the meanwhile,Indian Government has advised our nationals to consider returning to India and the Indian Embassy has set up a 24-hour helpline to offer assistance to those living there in this regard.

Let us hope for the best and pray peace will return to that Country.

The ISIS seems to be a deadly group..How have they got so much of power in the last few months..There was not even a rumor or hint about the impending crisis in Iraq...This attack by Sunnis in Iraq may blow into a full fledged conflagration between Sunnis & Shias in West Asia disturbing peace permanently

The ghastly group has sinister plans for India too as some of their jihadis are of Indian origin!

The brother of a Punjabi youth taken hostage in Iraq by Sunni insurgents says that youths from northern India were sold to agents in the strife-torn country for just $400.


Paramjit Singh, younger brother of Kamaljit Singh, a youth from Hoshiarpur who has been abducted by the insurgents, said scores of youths from the region could have been stranded or held hostage in Iraq.


Paramjit Singh, who returned from Iraq about eight months ago and could not succeed in going back, said conflicting reports about the whereabouts of the Indian hostages were causing concern to his family and families of other youths from Punjab who are still missing.


Kamaljit Singh and the others went missing from Mosul town June 11. "We spoke to him last on June 15. After that, there has been no communication from there. An official of the construction company called up last night to say the company was not able to do much in the present circumstances and it had no information on the abducted youth," Paramjit Singh told IANS here Friday.


His brother went to Iraq over 18 months ago. He was working with the Tehrak Noor Al Huda construction company there.
